==Locating the Barometer==
For most personal weather stations, the barometer is in the console, usually attached to the printed circuit board. These barometers are very cheap devices that simply record the load on a diaphragm.
Unlike the barometer in a professional automatic weather station, they have no temperature compensation. Therefore, for best pressure readings, you should locate the console in a place where the temperature is reasonably constant, not in direct sunlight or near a heater.
