I feel ignorant for writing this, but I cannot for the life of me find out where the rain bucket and wind vane connect on the Weather Plus board. I see 4 points on the board with no pins that say rain and wind on it, but it says to use a grove connector. I have 1, 6 inch grove cable left to use and I still don't know how to connect this. The following is how I have the cables run thus far:
Weather Plus I2C0 -> J4 4 Chan I2C
Weather Plus I2C1 -> 1: LCD screen
4 Chan I2C J3 -> Thunderboard I2C
Thunderboard IRQ -> D13/16 Grover Hat
4 Chan I2C J1 -> Grover Hat I2C pt 4
Temp/Hum -> Grover Hat I2C pt2
Dual Watch VDD -> Grover Hat GPIO 1-4
I am sure that I am missing something, and I will take the hit for whatever my failure is, but this is driving me nuts! Please help me
Thanks,
TheUglyOne

Just to clarify, I an new to all this and have never experimented with the RPI or anything like this before. I am a first timer. It might be a little more difficult for a beginner, but I like a challenge.

I think if you follow the directions www.switchdoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/OurWeatherAssembly.pdf you should have not problems. The cables that connect the bucket and the wind vane should look like a telephone cable. These two cables will snap into the end of the main OurWeather board and the receptacles for these cables are on a 90 degree to the board. All of the other cables will click into the Grove receptacles on the main board or the I2C extension board. ![]() Attachments:

I got a response in email that stated this.
Pi2Grover / D21/D26 Weather Board / Grove D Rain Bucket Grove Cable
Pi2Grover / D26 Weather Board / Grove D Anemometer Grove Cable
The RJ11 connects the weather instruments to the Weather board. The connections above connect the Weather Board (and these instruments) to the Raspberry Pi via the Pi2Grover.
I got the complete weather station and then bought the solar extender and the thunder board.

Good. The tutorials on the website are a great resource as well. Step by step.

This has now been resolved. He was looking at the wrong tutorial. He was looking at the GroveWeatherPi tutorial and he should have been looking at the OurWeather tutorial. No problem!
Best regards,
BP
