[wxsig] Wind Speed Spike

[Ken Brown]

Will,

Several times in the last couple of weeks I have had a wind speed
spike of 199g099.  This is since the nearby lightning event that
caused several other, seemingly resettable problems in the weather
station and other equipment.  That was also when the MAX232 chip
failed and the barometer became erratic.  The barometer is now
plugged into a test T238 that has no outside sensors and seems to
be fine.  The status messages for a couple of hours before, the
affected line and several after are included below.  The wind
sensor is an original Dallas Semi although purchased from AAG.

I had a similar problem a year or more ago and I changed the T238,
wind sensor, and wiring.  I don't know what may have cleared it
at that time.

On another subject, I notice on the schematic that you use three
pins on the CPU to generate the one wire bus.  I assume this is
to improve fan-out.  Are all three pins the same or do you transmit
on two and receive on one?  I ask because I thought I might try to
separate the one wire lines going to my wind, temp/rh/rain, and
barometer, by separating the transmit and receive lines into
some external devices to create three one wire bus lines.
