Reliability and reduced power consumption have become priorities. I've decided at add an ATtiny85 to count wind and rain interrupts as well as take and store the 2 second interval readings. The esp didn't like the anemometer pulses when it was doing wifi transactions and crashed frequently. The ATtiny will wake the esp every 5 minutes and send it the 5 minute averages to submit to the database server. Beginnings of programming the ATtiny The line of FETS and resistors on the arduino breadboard make a logic level converter from 5 to 3.3v. I had to make it because I didn't have a ready made converter board and didn't want to wait or pay for one. I needed it so I can work on the ATTiny while the ESP is connected because the ESP runs at 3v and the Arduino at 5v. Connecting the two devices I've cleaned up and merged the ATtiny and Esp prototype boards Current Iteration (Still Fits!)
