I mentioned that I'm still here, but not that I (like Tim) still have Arne's
s/w running and still have one of the original Dallas units up on the roof!
I too have replaced a couple of bearings and most of the reed switches, had
to clean the exterior with a bleach solution every couple of years (I live
in the Pacific Northwest, so anything outside ends up with something or
another growing on it!), but everything is still running. I have one of the
first barometric pressure boards (Dave Berry (sp?)), but it has always had
problems when on the network - even when powered on its own. I've built a
couple of lightening detectors that have been running for many years as
well. I have one at 10' and another at 30' up the pole, so I can "see"
roughly 50 miles and 150 miles with them. That way I can tell if something
is approaching or is just off in the distance - at least that was the
thought. We really don't get enough lightening storms rolling though that
I've ever been able to tell how well it works.
But the system has provided a lot of entertainment and useful information
over the last 12 or 13 years. And I plan to keep it and Arne's s/w running
for as long as I can! I'd like to say a special thanks to Arne and to
everyone else on this list that has provided support over the years too.
This has been, and continues to be, a great group to be part of!
Have a great 2015!

Wow, there's a legend from the old days!
I still use your software Arne and it still does everything I want day in
and day out and has done for well over a decade. So long I forget, but it
must be nearly 13 years. The anemometer is still the original Dallas
Semiconductor unit. The reed switches have all been replaced, the direction
vane repaired as had cracked on the pivot point and replaced one of the
bearings on the windspeed axle, but still it works. Reliably. I pull it down
and clean off the crud once a year!
Good to hear you are still alive and kicking Arne ;-)
Cheers,

Amazing, right? :-)
I'm still here as well, I got too much issues with my 1-wire WS,
actually it was rather worn out after 10-12 years on the roof, so last
Christmas I bought an Ultimeter 100 for the wind, rain & outdoor temperature
stuff.
Still keeps the old WServer software running for humidity, pressure and
a bunch of temperature sensors.
Also has a DS2423 counter hooked up so I can measure our electrisity
usage.
Very little programming these days though, mostly hacked things together
so I just get what I need. :-)
Regards,
Arne
