Full Time "ON" Backlit Display
« on: November 18, 2020, 04:29:03 PM »
I'm seeking a station with a color, backlit display that is always lit.  I need to be able to see it from across a room, day or night without having to touch the screen or any buttons.

I don't care about scientific accuracy and nothing will be uploaded anywhere, though I would like a PC interface for spreadsheet and graphing ability.  I don't care about brand names, but I'd prefer to avoid Ambient.  Davis and the other high dollar units will not be considered.

And it needs to be CHEAP.  Under $100 if possible, or at least under $150.  I'd prefer the sensors be separate so I can mount the wind higher.

Now, don't all jump in at once, OK?

Get a FOSHK clone and send the data to a tablet.

Even if I could get a tablet that stayed awake and lit full time that I could mount to a wall, that's an extra component and expense.

Then you are SOL.  You can't find what you want for a C-note.
