Still trying to get weather station to work with mDot

[Michael]

What I have: mDot on UDK board, with Sparkfun Weather Shield (temp, humidity) and weather station (anemometer, wind vane, rain gauge).

I posted some questions a few weeks ago. Many were answered and have helped me move the project forward.

My current (last?!) issue is getting the anemometer to work. I am using Adam Green’s library that’s on the mbed site. There’s a one-second tick that is working (best I can tell), and it brackets a count of interrupts ( DebouncedFallingEdgeCounter ) generated by the anemometer as it spins. Or should…

I added an LED toggle within the EdgeCounter and I can get the LED to turn on and off as I rotate the anemometer…but only if I spin the anemometer VERY slowly.

There’s a debounce setting for the EdgeCounter, but I’ve played with that value to no avail (My guess is if that number were too big, the count would ignore the interrupt – treating it as a bounce rather than as valid)

Anyone have familiarity with any of the above?
