Many potential weather station problems can be overcome by thoughtful setting up, preventive and regular maintenance, and some inexpensive modifications.

Receives data from 'Thermor' DG950R Weather Station receiver, via a 433Mhz RF receiver connected to pin 8 of the arduino, and outputs to serial.
Based on the Practical Arduino Weather Station Receiver project (http://www.practicalarduino.com/projects/weather-station-receiver).For more info:http://kayno.net/2010/01/15/arduino-weather-station-receiver-shield/
TODO:
- handle rain packets better - bucket tips are are sent incrementally - rain mm is calculated by subtracting current tip count from previous. should report tip count rather than doing calulation on arduino so that if the arduino is reset or a packet sent from it is missed, any missed rain value can still be calculated
- wind speed is currently determined by a 'fudge factor', which itself was calculated based on the value being transmitted compared to the value displayed on the weather station's base station. perhaps there is a better way?
