[wxsig] Transparent Hurricane

[Will Beals]

The strange battery voltage just means that Warren doesn't have the battery
monitoring circuitry installed, so it is reading a floating input.  I only
thought of that AFTER releasing the original T238 design, so it takes adding
a couple of resistors to create the voltage divider and a Pot if you want to
be fairly accurate.  The suggested schematic is at
http://www.beals5.com/wx/schematics.htm.

Warren:

If you want to start over putting in sensors from scratch, just go through
the setup screens in the order they come up.  If I see both a DS8120 and
DS18S20, I flag both and ask you to pick.  You do need to know the IDs of
both to know which is which.  The DS18S20s have an extra bit in the ID that
helps me pick.  There are a couple other sensors that share the same dallas
chip and I ask you to remove certain sensors during the process to help.  It
has been a long time since I've done it, so any feedback would also be
appreciated.

Your theory about the wrong temperature sensor getting picked makes a lot of
sense.  Both RH and BP are temperature compensated values, so seeing them
both go weird suggests a common cause.  Would be nice if the practice
matches the theory! :)

OK, it's been 6 months since I've had time to play with mine.  Isn't the
"battery voltage" reading the voltage comming in the power connector?
