Engineering some old electronics back to life with Arduino && La Crosse TX23

Project using an Arduino and a La Crosse TX23 wind-speed and direction sensor to bring a old wind direction display back to life!

The display has old incandescence light bulb fittings, in which I mounted 6V bicycle lightbulbs. The lightbulbs are powered via logical FETS using PWM to allow a nice fade-in and fade-out effect. Everything is powered using a 5V DC USB adapter.

The final result Internals of the housing Arduino wire headers and connections (right side) Arduino wire headers and connections (left side)

Sensor and mounting details

The first design using a 12V power supply, which didnt work stable so I switched to 5V DC and powered the Arduino via USB.
