Wind Speed and Wind Directions are two important properties of Wind, thus it is important to know both. Wind Direction tell us where the wind is blowing from and is measured in degrees, with true north being the reference point of 0 degree.
The device which gives wind direction is known as Wind Vane.
The challenge is to build an electronic Wind Vane which will tells you the direction of wind blowing from and update it on IoT Server.
Explore more about Wind Vane below
A wind vane, weather vane, or weathercock is an instrument used for showing the direction of the wind. It is typically used as an architectural ornament to the highest point of a building. The word vane comes from the Old English word fana, meaning "flag".
Although partly functional, wind vanes are generally decorative, often featuring the traditional cockerel design with letters indicating the points of the compass. Other common motifs include ships, arrows, and horses. Not all wind vanes have ...
The picture shown below is one type of wind vane.
Build a rotating mechanism to point wind direction.
Connect a sensor to rotating mechanism in order to get electrical signal output whenever wind makes it rotate.
Connect the sensor to Arduino
Write a program to measure the electrical signal, map it to wind direction and display it on arduino serial monitor.
How do you correlate your acctual wind direction.
The pictures shown below displays the readings of Wind Vane through Widgets on the dashboard created in iot.metastudio.org
At first use your account credential to log on iot.metastudio.org .
On Dashboard use graphs and other widgets to display this data.
While you are making whatever questions you have, whenever you need help, do not hesitate to ask by replying to this topic.
This project depending on your experience may take from 3 days to 2 weeks.
Accurate Wireless Weather Vane: This wireless weather vane has some unique features- wind direction with a simple, economical, and accurate absolute encoder. Some consumer weather stations Comparison have a limited wind direction resolution of 22.5...
UPDATED 09/08/2016. Following on from the last project, where I broadcast NMEA GPS data to iSailor, I wanted to send wind measurements as well. The mast in my Westsail 32 was out, and it was a perf…
