Wind Sensor Rev. C temp readout and high zeroWindAdjustment

[Alluminator]

So I bought the Wind Sensor Rev. C and wanted to use it with a NodeMCU.

When using analogRead() on the temp pin I get a value of 800+/- which translates to a temperature of about -13 degrees Celsius using the provided sketch, while the room I'm in is at around 23 degrees Celsius.
Now I decided just to use another temperature sensor and then just use its value, based on the idea of bitbang3r found here: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3878.

Now when calibrating, I had to use a value of -1.6 for zeroWindAdjustment to get a consistent 0 m/s wind speed. Is such a high value normal? I've seen others use way smaller values, thus I'm just double checking here whether this is fine or not.

Cheers,

Alluminator,

Yes negative values for zero wind are fine.

As far as the temperature goes, it will only be accurate with a 5 volt regulated supply.
I hope we can revise that code soon also because it seems like it may be a problem as well.
