Hi @ianhandel , congrats for the project, do you have a schematics somewhere for the project? a picture of the final product?

could you share the pieces you used for the project, like Anemometer brand etc...

I kinda want to build a wind station to merge the wind in my house.

sorry for create the issue here, I kinda looking for a small help.

thank you.

Hi Douglas,

The anemometer was... https://www.windlogger.com/products/vortex-anemometer

It uses a reed switch so I simply had it between a digital input pin (2) and ground (pin4 set to LOW) to send interrupt pulses.

The code used to drive an 128x96 OLED display but now just outputs NMEA0183 data to the serial port which is then read by a chart plotter (it's on a boat). Anemometer has survived 4 years so far.

It uses the nodisplay... code. The TFT... code wasn't ever used. I think it's disassembled now so I don't have schematics. My documentation of projects is a bit hit and miss!

Best plan may be to get one of the anemometers and experiment with interfacing to other hardware or PC etc. Lagged smoothing of the pulses to give a speed result that's not jittery was a bit hit and miss. It seems to work OK.

Cheers,

Ian
