hi forum,
does anyone know, if there are sensors (windspeed, winddirection, temperature, pressure ), with an usb interface, so that I can directly connect the sensor to an a lix board? I don't need a display, I will mount all together anywhere in the mountain with a solar panel

did you have a look at this solution? Although pressure reading is not posible then.

you could add an 1-wire baro.
As far as I recall 1-wire should work with meteohub

toradex provides a cheap USB pressure sensor supported by meteohub. one wire is not oficially supported but some users have added support for it themself.
