Have you ever had the urge to rush out into your shed and build your own weather station? Well, this weather station kit includes an anemometer (for wind speed measurements), wind vane (for wind direction) and rain bucket (for rainfall measurements).

> ⚠ The example code provided in the product wiki will only support imperial measurement unit operating mode. If metric measurement is required it is best to do the conversion in your code until the documentation is updated by the manufacturer.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN0186:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SEN0186:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)
