I'm finally putting together my weather station so I've been combing over the documentation for the PiWeather board (I hope this is the right forums). I am using the Sparkfun Weather Meter Kit. One thing that isn't clear is if the J5 (Grove Digital Anemometer) also has an analog pin for the Wind Direction. On the documentation shows Pins 2 and 3 as NC where I would expect one of those to be an analog pin.
This analog pin is documented for the WeatherRack Interface board. I know they are different boards but they do appear to be very similar.
Further down it says the Wind Vane is: The Grove connector isn't mentioned here, but to be fair it's also not mentioned for the Anemometer so I'm trying not to give too much weight to that.
Connected to Wind Vane Pin on JP2 and also to ADC-A1 on JP5
and JP8 for use by the optional ADS1015 ADC or SwitchDoc Labs
ADS1116 and 10K Ohm Pullup to VDD
and JP8 for use by the optional ADS1015 ADC or SwitchDoc Labs

I guess my question is, if there's an analog signal on the Grove on either Pin 2 or Pin 3 or if I'll need to plug the Wind Vane into JP2. I know I could just plug it in and try, but figured asking would be safer and could save a bit of frustration 
I should also note I'm using the Adafruit RP2040 LoRa board with Arduino code as my computer.
