Anemometer


How do I assemble the anemometer?
Step 1 involves connecting the M5Stack AtomS3 with the voltmeter and the anemometer motor. Step 2 involves installing the software inside the M5Stack AtomS3 module. To easily install it on the M5Stack AtomS3 module, you can use the M5Stack Burner utility which allows you to download and install the software very easily. Step 1 — Download and open M5Burner Download M5Burner for your system (Windows/macOS/Linux). Unzip the archive and open the M5Burner application. Tip: On macO

The anemometer for autonomous buoys is now functional
The first version of the anemometer is finished. Positioned on one of the autonomous buoys, it allows the wind speed on the body of water to be measured and transmitted to the remote display, which is located at the level of the radio control of the boats. Anémomètre accroché à la Bouée autonome Les données sont transmises sans fil (protocole ESP-Now) à l'afficheur qui se trouve sur la radio commande The wind speed display is shown in real time to compare boat speeds to wind

How to retrieve wind speed and GPS track from an RC boat?
Transform your VRC workouts into connected experiences Imagine your traditional buoys equipped with anemometers that continuously measure the wind. Each RC boat has a GPS that sends its position, second by second. On land, a central station captures all this data, displays it in real time, and records it automatically. 👉 While sailing, you instantly follow the wind speed and the trajectory of your boats. 👉 After training, you replay each maneuver using the Replay function a

How to make a connected anemometer?
What components are needed? The simplest way is to start with a cup anemometer, with 2 wires which give an output voltage depending on the wind speed It is necessary to connect an ESP32 controller. Here we are using the Atom S3 from M5Stack ($15.50) with a small screen to display the wind speed in real time and give its connection status. To power it, we're choosing a 3.7V Lipo battery at €13 and an Adafruit PowerBoost 1000 Charger component at €31, which can charge the Lipo

First working prototype to manage anemometer data
Module pour traduire la tension en entrée du voltmètre en vitesse de vent The first prototype is functional: It recovers the input voltage from the voltmeter (simulated here while waiting for the anemometer) It translates the tension into wind speed by a configurable law It has an autonomous power supply by a small 3.7V Lipo battery which recharges via USB It broadcasts the following data: Object type: anemometer Anemometer ID Measured Wind Speed Timestamp Afficheur au niveau
