Weather Hat - Wind Direction Offset?

Support
1

Hi.
So I finally got the Weather Station set up using the Weather Hat. It’s awesome!
I need to apply an offset to the wind direction in the adafruit-io.py code but I can’t see where I can do this. Is it even possible?
Keep safe - and keep being awesome!

Reread your first post. Is the win vane setup so north on the vane is pointing to North?

There doesn’t seem to be a North indication.

Thanks for replying.

Ok, that’s weird?
I’d get a compass,
point the wind vane so it shows north on the display,
then rotate the mast,
so it lines up with North on the compass.

I’m guessing the arms or orientated North South. You need something to set it up for correct indication. I have the Wind and Rain Sensors for Weather Station (Wind Vane / Anemometer / Rain Gauge). I haven’t tried setting up yet. It’s on my list of things to do this summer.

Thanks.

It’s a shame it can’t be done in the software. If I were putting it on a massive mast, going back up to twist it would be a real pain, that’s all.

You may be able to adjust it in the python code running on the hat?
Have a good look at the file its running to get the data/info.

You might be able to adjust for the wind direction in software just by changing which values from the sensor relate to which degrees in this function?
