I added the cup anemometer example code to the OCS on github. The example code is functionally identical to what's below (compiles to the exact same thing) but the names of variables etc. were

This is the reason it's 0.015 not 0.03. Two switches, twice as many pulses for a given wind speed so the multiplier is 1/2 as much.

Well, I find this calculator: https://www.calctown.com/calculators/rpm-to-linear-velocity So, with 80mm "anemometer arm" radius (measured at now) => 120 RPM gives 1 m/s. This is OK, because that gives

The # of switches is irrelevant. I was going to change the wording in the code comments but that just makes the subject even more confusing so I'm leaving it as is. Instead imagine the mechanics

This is the design of the anemometer. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2523343 There is 2 magnets, so 1 revolution is 2 HIGH events. And here is a sentence from the creators notes: "The perimeter

The following should work I think. Just substitute this for the similarly named section/functions (they are just place-holders for the real thing) in Weather.ino Naturally this logs the average wind

Perfect. This accuracy is enough, this is not a weather station. Is this implementable to the Weather.ino?

The formula is a simple multiplier. I'm sure it isn't accurate and is entirely based on the example sketch you provided. The 0.054 part someone came up with converts to RPM to MPH. I just factored

Oh, I forget. There are two magnets in the body, front of the Hall sensor, at 180 degrees. Does this not change the calculation?

Yeapp, that's looks good. Thank you for your effort. What is the formula of the RPM2KPH conversion?

The design of that sketch is such that it can't easily coexist with other code running. I put this stand-alone Sketch together to quickly test a better concept that would be compatible with the

I don't want the LED and the temperature compensation. Only the KPH value.

This code is working for me. What is the method, to put this code to the weather.ino? #include <Wire.h> // An anemometer for the Arduino int LogInterval; int SampInterval=2; //Number of seconds in

Hi All! Is there any reason to implement this simple wind sensor to the OCS? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2523343 Is the hall sensors digital read fast enough? What is the code for the

Great to hear you are back in business!

Hi, I changed the sensor box making a new one with RJ45 female plugs firmly connected and everything is ok now. I would say it is a 2.0 box ! it has been running for 2 days now with temp, sqm,

You could run an I2C scanner Sketch on the Mega2560 to see what attached devices it finds (each has an unique id number.)

What these return depends on the sensor library support for determining if it was detected/init'd successfully. Most libraries don't support that so success is assumed otherwise.

I'm testing OCS on a bench with debug_weather ON without any sensor connected, only a mega. I have no error in compiling but two sensors are failing while the respective libraries seem correctly

Thanks for your answer Howard. The weather.ino is exactly the same as your observatory example. What is attached ? IR MLX, SQM 2591, BMP180, temp and humidity sensor S071... By the way I replaced the
