Default Reliable Inexpensive Electronic Weather Instruments

"Too_Many_Tools" wrote in message

I am looking for any suggestions as to reliable inexpensive electronic
weather instruments.

With several units that I have tested from places like Target, Walmart,
Radio Shack I find that they are not repeatable, readings drift and
will die when the weather gets cold.

Has anyone found a source or brand that they have had good success
with?

Any leads or links to building your own instrumentation?

Thanks

Texas Weather Instruments developed the 1-WireT Weather Station, using
technology licensed from Dallas Semiconductor (see Sensors magazine June
1998), to solve the problems of attaching multiple cables, power supplies
and consoles associated with weather instruments to a Windows PC.

AAG Electronica (Mexico) makes the kit of parts ($75), the TWI is only an
assembled unit.
