Feature Request: Peet Bros anemometer support
Hi, Is it possible to support a different anemometer? Peet bros make very reliable hardware. Less wear parts, bigger cups and vein than the Davis product. The issue is that this sensor uses 2 Hall effect switches to measure wind speed and direction. Speed is simply counting the speed on one of these switches but direction is calculated by the time differential between them. Code for this sensor has been worked out and validated well by this project. https://github.com/lkarsten/peetbros-arduino/blob/master/peetbros-arduino/peetbros-arduino.ino Not sure how to go about coding anything for this? Just a thought if it could be integrated easily I would very much appreciate it. Regards, Mike.
Hi Mike, As I have read, the Peet bros is running on 5V. The ESP32 is running on 3.3V If there are only 2 reed-switches it can work also at 3.3V. Can you try that ? I think it should be not a big deal to implement the aneometer. The best thing would be, that you send me a anemeter, I will test it and send it back to you.
Hey thanks so much for replying. Where are you based? Im in NZ so likely might cost quite a bit to send an anemometer to you. I have had one running on 3.3v using the code from the above adapted to my old home automation setup. I do have spare T-Beam hardware here I could test on if that helps at all. Im willing to make a generous donation to the project to enable this anemometer. Also would love to see compatibility for 869.259 FLARM in NZ. Thank you so much for all your hard work on this project! I can appreciate it is a lot of work! Regards, Mike.
I am in Austria, so it would be better, I buy one in Europe. Do you know, where I can get one in Europe?
Im not sure on the best source in the Europe but I did find this. https://www.meteo-shopping.com/en/sensors/400-130-anemometre-girouette-pro-12-metres-de-cable.html#/44-type_anemometre-pro Thanks so much!
