Yes, I see what you mean!! Seems as though compass is the only reading that does this averaging - I wonder why, unless it is to dampen down an oscillating vane??!!! You could see if this is the cause of the problems - as a workaround - by just returning the last value and not doing the average. See what that gives you!! You can verify the driver is the cause if you can manipulate the weather vane by hand rather than waiting for the wind to be in the right direction and have debug =1 so you can see the loop records output by the driver as you manually move the vane beween 330, 0, 30
