Fixing the Weather kit Anemometer.

This post is just one  I wanted to share with the group.  i purchased my WeatherPI grove kit about a year ago.  Everything seems to work well except for the AM2315 probe and the Anemometer.   The Anemometer worked great a year ago but something happened and it stopped working.  

Instead of buying a new one I decided to try fixing it myself.  The glass reed switch was cycling between 0 ohms and 1.3 ohms when I would turn the vane.  The open switch should have quite a bit more ohms when switch is opened.  I ended up learning how to disasemble the anemometer(which is easy)  ordered an encapsulated reed switch from the Amazon SOWAY.  Electronics123.com or SparkFun both have these.  Unsoldered the old reed switch out and desoldered the new reed switch in.    I have windspeed again.

I am going to share some pictures of what's inside and the repair.  Hopefully they explain themselves.  I have posted 3 more pictures after this with the rest of the fix.  


Let me know what your think about this repair.
