Weather Microcontroller

There are a lot of weather displays on the workshop but I didn't find any that uses the data from the weather sensors and combines it with the vehicle data correctly to get vehicle independent wind data. So I had to write my own controller.
This controller takes the data from the wind sensor which are relative to the vessel orientation and speed, than it calculates the absolute wind data and displays it on a 1x1 or 3x1 monitor. The result is: No matter in which direction you move or how fast you move, windspeed and orientation are shown like stationary data.

Temperature, Humidity and Rain are also displayed.

As always: You can use this controller in your own creations but it would be nice if you credit me or link this workshop page.

I have also the Absolute Wind Calculator on the workshop, if you only want the calculated wind data and build the rest on your own.

Controller size: 3x3

Inputs:
- Temperature (Number): from temperature probe, the result can be shown in °C or °F
- Humidity (Number): from Humidity Sensor, the result is shown in %
- Rain (Number): from Rain Sensor, the result is shown as text (lt rain, rain, hv rain)
- Wind Speed (Number): from Wind Sensor, the result is shown as m/s, km/h, mph, ktn, bft or text
- Wind Direction (Number): from Wind Sensor, the result is shown in degree, 1/8 or 1/16 compass direction
- Compass (Number): from Compass Sensor, is used to calculate absolute wind data
- Speed (Number): from Linear Speed Sensor (Directional Mode), is used to calculate absolute wind data
- Night Mode (on/off): switch the display to another color sheme

Outputs:
- Video Out (Video): to the monitor, size 1x1, 2x1 or 3x1

Properties:
- wind sensor adjust: to match the wind sensor with the compass sensor
- wind data: with (relative) or without (absoluie) vehicle compensation
- temperature unit: celsius or fahrenheit
- wind speed unit: m/s, km/h, mph, ktn or bft (beaufort)
- wind direction unit: degree, 1/8 compass or 1/16 compass
- background color for night mode in hex-rgb value (RRGGBB): for example 00FF00 is bright green
