MyWindSensor

[Bert Ramselaar]

Made een Windsensor for MySensors, Works well!
used an adafruit https://www.adafruit.com/product/1733 windmeter.

/**
 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

 * REVISION HISTORY
 * versie 1.1 bert ramselaar  
 * Used an UNO with a NRF24+ with external antenna
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * Arduino Wind Sensor
 * Adafruit Anemometer Wind Speed Sensor -> https://www.adafruit.com/product/1733
 * connect the sensor as follows :
 *   VCC  (brown)      >>> 5V
 *   A    (blue)      >>> A0 or any other analog pin
 *   GND  (black)      >>> GND

@Bert-Ramselaar HI and welcome to the forum!
I modified your post slightly to include code tags, which improves readability.
Could you give some more info on your project (which sensor did you use? And did I mention that we simply looooove pictures ;-))?

[gohan]

@Yveaux He actually posted the link to the sensor
It is rather expensive but since it isn't a pulse counter sensor but it gives a voltage to read it is probably why it isn't cheap.

@gohan @Bert-Ramselaar sorry, I'd better not browse the forum on my phone anymore

@gohan said in MyWindSensor:

A simple pro-mini can do the same; only costs a few €...
Looks like it's full metal, so probably a lot more durable than the plastic ones that tend to agree rapidly in the sun...
