Guys
My understanding of the SparkFun weather sensor package is that they only provide the rain, wind direction and wind speed for US$69.95 plus an extra $29 for cheapest delivery.
The AU$75 plus $10 postage from Melbourne includes these plus temperature, humidity and pressure. And this particular unit (not all of them do) provides a solar panel as well. On this basis if (and a big if) the design of the unit allows direct access to the sensors then this would seem the cheapest way to obtain them. The wireless/processing unit plus the inside display would probably not be usable. However for a fully supportable/maintainable/extensible home brew system this is where you would be anyway if you purchased just the sensors.
Perhaps someone with access to one of the units could advise whether accessing the sensors for raw data is feasible? Sounds like fun if possible.
