Raspberry Pi Experiment 13: Anemometer based on sensors F200-201/2 (wind speed/direction)

Related Experiments:

• Raspberry-pi: experiment 13. Wind speed and direction meter (anemometer)
• Raspberry-pi: Experiment 13. Thermal sensor and more
• Raspberry-pi: Experiment 13. Few more experiments with batteries
• Raspberry-pi: Experiment 13. Anemometer. Less power consumed more produced and preserved

Experiment Goals:

1. Learn working with new type of wind direction and speed sensors

2. Make a prototype which may be used for data collecting at different locations, having the following features: direction sensor calibration, storage of compressed wind data

3. No power saving features at this stage. It shall work from 220 V power source.

Components:

– F200-201 – Wind Speed Sensor (ebay)

– F200-202 – Wind Direction Sensor (ebay)

Schematics:

TBD

Software:

Pictures and story:

– 5V and 12V power supply
 

– Sensors are installed

– RPi is connected and activated

– All is initially tested and placed outside for SW development and testing (using WiFi and VNC)
 

– Data capturing, display and compression:
