This video demonstrates three simple Arduino sketches configured to monitor an Argent wind vane, tipping bucket rain gauge, and a cup anemometer for future integration with cellular and satellite remote environmental monitors.

The wind vane sketch was developed from scratch, whereas the tipping bucket and cup anemometer sketches are derived from the Arduino library written by John Cape for interfacing with Argent's Wind and Rain Sensor Assembly.
