Looks almost identical to the hardware offered by Sparkfun. You could either hack it or use it as it is. - Rob. I have had this exact model now for 2 years and have had nothing but good solid performance from it. The battery in the sensor unit has been the same one from day dot and charged from it's own solar panel. They are still available on ebay at I think under $100. I found the same problem with spiders living in the "rain gauge" which easily pulls apart. Problem is if you are anything like me you would have your weather station/annemometer at the same height as your mill. The software package is not too shabby either with a good readouts etc. I have attached a pic of my recent wind to share with forum members. The green shading is where it was disconnected or out of service.
