Weather stations are a popular project for experimenting with various environmental sensors, and for wind speed and direction the choice is usually a simple cup anemometer and wind vane. For [Jianjia ...

To measure wind speed and direction, most people turn the traditional cup anemometer and wind vane. Another less-known method is to use an array of ultrasonic transducers, which doesn’t need any ...

Above: The Mount Washington Observatory on an icy winter day. It was here that a wind gust of 231 mph was measured on April 12, 1934. It remained the highest-ever anemometer-measured wind gust on ...

Awhile back I published a simple design idea for a thermal airspeed sensor based on a self-heated Darlington transistor pair. The resulting sensor is simple, sensitive, and solid-state, but suffers ...

Description: The PAV5000 series MEMS anemometer sensor is fully calibrated and temperature-compensated for easy integration into portable anemometers and fixed in-duct air velocity monitors for the ...

If you are interested in creating a DIY Arduino wind speed meter or anemometer to monitor the wind strength in your location, you might be interested in this quick tutorial I have put together to ...

Thermistors use a thermally active resistor made of metal oxides encased in epoxy or glass. The resistance output varies based on temperature. A more accurate thermister will vary linearly throughout ...

Awhile back I published a simple design idea for a thermal airspeed sensor based on a self-heated Darlington transistor pair. See Figure 1. Figure 1 Older design idea with self-heated Darlington ...

An anemometer is a tool used to measure wind speed. It has three or four cups attached to horizontal arms and when the wind blows, the cups rotate around. The stronger the wind blows, the faster the ...
