Hi there everybody and welcome again to a different Friday Product Put up right here at SparkFun Electronics! In the event you did not know, Colorado receives fairly a little bit of unstable climate beginning in spring by means of the start of summer season. Thunderstorms, hail, and even the occasional twister. Due to this, we needed to take one other have a look at our standard Climate Meter Package and provide virtually all of the elements as particular person items! We have the anemometer, wind vane, and all of the structural {hardware} wanted to place it collectively. You should use these elements as replacements or if you happen to want only one half you’ll be able to construct a extra specialised climate undertaking! Let’s dive in and take a better look.
Anemometer
SEN-28869
An anemometer measures wind velocity. The wind strikes the cups on the anemometer, which in flip, rotate a enclosed magnet. The ma…

We begin with the anemometer, which measures wind velocity. The wind strikes the cups on the anemometer, which rotates an enclosed magnet. The magnet closes a reed swap on every rotation, which is mirrored on the output. You may measure this on the 2 inside conductors of the RJ-11 connector (pins 2 and three), utilizing a digital counter or interrupt pins in your microcontroller.
Wind Vane
SEN-28868
The wind vane signifies the course of the wind. Internally, on the vane are eight switches, every with a novel resistor. A…

The wind vane signifies the course of the wind. Internally, on the vane are eight switches, every with a novel resistor. Because the wind vane rotates, a magnet closes the reed switches, and should shut two at a time as a result of their proximity to one another. With the usage of an exterior resistor, a voltage divider might be created. Measuring the voltage output with an analog-to-digital converter in your microcontroller lets you decide the course the wind vane is pointing.
Wind Sensor Mounting Arm
PRT-28866
This Wind Sensor Mounting Arm, similar to the one included in our Climate Meter Package, supplies a steady and dependable platfor…
$5.95
This wind sensor mounting arm supplies a steady and dependable platform for securing your anemometer and wind vane. Designed for simple set up on a metallic mast or pole, it ensures your wind sensors are safe, permitting for correct and constant wind measurements in any climate circumstances.
Metallic Mast
