I'm building my own weather instruments and since I'm an aviator I would like to have wind direction displayed in 10 degree increments (like 000, 090, 150, 340, etc.) rather than the 'standard' 16 points.
Am I correct in assuming that mcsTemp currently reads a voltage (or voltages) from a DS2450 that encodes 8 reed switches and then computes which of the 16 points to display?
Would it be possible for me to provide a 6-bit value encoded by a DS2408 for direction to mcsTemp and have the display scaled, stored and displayed as 10 degree increments (as above)?
Further, could I then use one of the remaining bits (DS2408 is an 8-bit device) for the wind speed sensor?
I am very impressed with the plugin - you've done a great job with it!
