Open source anemometer with replaceable bearing

Reed switches sure can be non-durable. But cheap and usually easy to replace. Be nice to see under hood of Peet.

That has other attachments since it has temp and humidity also.

Certainly, and has been for quite a few years. It's an excellent project, but for this particular project I'm not sure that the extra cost and complication is worth it compared to connecting the anemometer direct to a Pi with an A/D HAT. And I still suspect that a $4 Pi Pico would do all that the OP wants and also has A/D built in. But sure, it's certainly another option.
