Rebuild NETATMO Wind Sensor

[Yveaux]

@martin-tellblom Do you have any pics of the inside of the sensor? e.g. How the transducers are mounted?
Netatmo seem to be STM32 fanboys. Maybe you can reprogram them to run MySensors? ;-)

@gohan Doppler ?

[gohan]

I don't know, I can't tell if there are any moving parts or if it is static

[Martin Tellblom]

the top above the transducers are plat and it says in the isntruction that you should avoid touching the area.

I have a broken outdoor sensor with temp, humid, Co2 and so on but there a very small ship on that one

[Martin Tellblom]

@gohan Its static

The problem would be to recover the algorithm to run those 4 trasducers

There is a good one here

And another one for a selfbuild like the Netatmo uses with bouncing

[gohan]

I wonder how much power they use to run. Indeed it is a nice solution that has no moving parts so it should need much less maintenance.

@gohan Where I live we can't have one with moving parts, There is often over 35m/s in the winter storms.
Thats why I bought the Netatmo in the first place. But It's maybe better to build an own, I have a lot of the parts

Here is a very good page explaining the two methods of ultrasonic anemometers.
