Broke it. Acurite 5 in 1
« on: June 23, 2017, 11:04:51 AM »
the wire from the wind speed sensor to the main board.

Need a soldering iron.

now that both came off- Does it matter which wire goes where?



You can't phase me-I teach Middle School.

No. Have to get to school and get my soldering iron.

The wires go to a reed switch.  It shouldn't matter which goes where.

Took a while for me to get around to it. But I was able to fix it without an issue.

Should be fine as long as the stupid disrespectful kid that walks through everyone's yard leaves it alone.

I accidentally broke both my wind speed wires off too.  Was this an easy fix?  Did you have to take the whole board off to get to the back and solder?

Thanks

Solder his hands to his waist, that should fix it  =D>

If you are somewhat experienced and handy, it should be an easy fix.

I have been lucky at home-no one messes with it.
