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

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

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
