Davis claims the windspeed and direction updates approximately every 2.5 seconds. The Davis Pro 2 console to computer is via USB. Suggestion on how to improve the look? I'm open to suggestions.
I am running almost what was downloaded via Weewx way back when. My web page is custom but I have not done much of anything to the Davis / Weewx data collection.
