The two wind gauges have been running for about a year now, and I'm really please with how well they work.

As I've had a bit of spare time, I've added another gauge - wind direction. It works exactly the same as the other two, just set with a different identifying character for the serial data.

The face had faded beyond what was legible so I took the opportunity to print up a new one with the points of a compass on it. Shame it can't go round in a circle, but it still looks great!

I'm happy where this is now, so I'm going to mark this project as complete.
