[time-nuts] Weather/units question for European members

[Arnold Tibus]

Hi Mark,

I second Paul Henning,
here in Europe we use officially the SI standard, does mean m/s and hPa!

Privately used other units are another thing like km/h or units Beaufort
and mb (millibar),
but not official. If possible use always the international SI units and
as personal choice km/h,
hPa and millibar are anyway same numbers.
Regards
Arnold

It uses 4 cheap ($1 each) HC-SR04 ultrasonic rangefinder modules that output a pulse width proportional to the time of flight of the sound signal  (topic is time nut related since  it simultaneously measures the speed of sound in 4 directions to a pretty good accuracy/resolution using a cheap-ass microprocessor - ATMEGA328 (like and Arduino)...  and does so wbbithout using any counter-timer channels).
