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 ...

A Wind Direction Sensor is a device designed to measure the direction from which the wind is blowing. These sensors are essential in various applications, including meteorology, aviation, marine ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Engineers have designed and successfully tested a more efficient wind sensor for use on drones, balloons and other autonomous aircraft. These wind sensors – called anemometers – are ...

Abstract: Developing a self-powered sensor system for real-time measurement of wind speed and direction in dispersed locations is crucial for environmental monitoring. In this study, a rotational wind ...

Have you ever wondered how an electronic wind vane translates a direction into a unique signal? It seems as though it might be very complicated, and indeed some of them are. [martinm] over at ...

A Waggle plugin that reads Davis wind sensor data from Arduino via USB serial port and publishes wind speed in knots, wind direction in degrees, along with debug information including rotations per ...

Nasa has reported its first setback in the Curiosity rover mission to Mars. A sensor on the robot's weather station that takes wind readings has sustained damage. The mission team stresses this is not ...
