There is support for the WXT510, and since the ultrasonic wind sensor is similar to that of the WS425, I was wondering if the WS425 has basic support? I currently have two of these.

i would like to see interest from more than 1 person though to make it worthwhile for my time to support it

Hi there,

I appreciate this post is some years old but I have recently aquired one of these Vaisala WAS425 Sensors off ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380250512735&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123

Did this sensor ever get included into your software?

Ultimately I would like to include a Vaisala Temp/Hum probe as well (I have the probe and shield just trawling about for the digital transmitter part :-))

Its a project I have been putting together for my kids and I to construct over the winter :slight_smile:

I have worked with Vaisala kit before in an aerodrome setting and I know they have RS232/RS422 etc outputs. I could find out formats etc

Regards
Paul

The Vaisala site appears to be down at the moment…they are quite good to get manuals off, I managed to get the user manual for a Vaisala DDP25 Display I got off ebay. I do have to pdf manual for the WAS425 as well if you want it?

Here’s a link to the manual that should work http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/~iqup/domeenv/PDF/U428en11.pdf

(Serge, I could only find the specification at your link, not the data protocol.)

Paul,

Looks like the next step would be for you to get/make a cable (wired for RS232) and connect it to the PC. You should be able to test it manually with any terminal software.

Ok Niko,

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the interest.When I receive the sensor I will check it out with a terminal program :slight_smile: The Vaisala site is back up and I got a pdf for the sensor off their support section:

I have used the vaisala WXT520 in work and the Ultrasonic wind sensor has proved very robust in service over the past 4 years. I hope the was425 is just as good :slight_smile:
