Abstract:
An Anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed and is a common
instrument used at weather stations. Weather stations such as Meteorology
department need to measure both wind speed and the wind dkection for
making weather forecast. Anemometer with a wind vane has been designed
and constructed. A digital compass and a picket fence are used to measure
wind directions and wind speeds respectively. Arduino board is used to
calculate the wind direction and wind speed. The readings are displayed on
an LCD screen and stored screen and stored in a SD-card. This is a user
friendly instrument could be manufactured at a low cost.
