Re: BUBII - A request for the USB device descriptor failed, 10 work, 5 fail.
Joe, Did you install any of the 3 pin headers? The options can kind of be confusing on that board. If you're using the jumpers, then you need to clear the solder shunts. The solder shunts should be set in the manner shown in the attached image. Did you try putting a meter on the pins 1 and 3 and che...

Re: BUBII - A request for the USB device descriptor failed, 10 work, 5 fail.
Joe, Sorry about your experience. It does seem odd indeed. Have you tried the boards on a different computer? Also read about FTDI drivers. It was kind of mess on macs a while ago although the newer Apple drivers seem to have solved the problem which happened with there were TWO drivers installed. I...

Re: Wind Sensor Rev. P
The sensor is not a wire, it's a resistor.

Re: Wind Sensor Rev. P
The sensor is a thermistor, a resistor that changes with temperature.
In a more high end hot wire anemometer it would indeed by a "hot wire" a very thin (and very fragile) wire that is heated.

Re: Direction-sensitive wind measurement
Correct, the other bits are about ambient temperature correction.Thanks. But is the only bit that measures air flow the loop on the longer stalk?

Re: Direction-sensitive wind measurement
Correct, as long as they are in ambient air somewhere.I assume that temperature measurement components can be out of the main air flow.

Re: Measuring Mass Airflow with the Wind Sensor?
Absolutely. Wind speed times area = volume / time. You'll need to compensate for temp using gas laws, also humidity comes into play depending on how accurate you are planning to be.

Re: Wind sensor Rev. P - Voltage dropping, Standby, Overheated?
ulrich223, Unfortunately we have seen this before. This is a result of component tolerances that are too close to an edge case where the sensor doesn't function. We are in the process of addressing this but in the meantime, email the shop and we'll replace your sensor. What happens is that in some t...

Re: Wind sensor Rev. P schematic questions and 15V opertion

Re: Wind sensor Rev. P schematic questions and 15V opertion
Can the supply voltage properties be checked and updated? There is a linear regulator after the input. So a higher input voltage won't achieve what you want. There is a voltage divider that could be changed to allow a higher working voltage. We could do this on request for an order of a few pieces....

Re: Wind sensor Rev. P schematic questions and 15V opertion
Theo_NL, You appear to be correct, checking the schematic that the board should handle 15 volts without an issue. Everything else is running off the regulator output. One possible issue is that the regulator will be generating more heat, since it's just a linear regulator. It's far enough away from ...

Re: Wind Sensor Rev. P out in the open?
Henk, You have two options. As stated above you could coat the board with something. We've had good luck with epoxy, just flowing it onto the board, over the components. (but not the thermistors). If you are going to coat the sensors, use something thinner like spray coat of clear polyurethane or si...

Re: Wind sensor (Rev 3) thermister vs ds18b20
bitbang3r, Since I can easily mount a ds18b20 sensor within an inch or two of the r3 wind sensor, would I get more accurate windspeed measurements if I modified the code to just ignore the windspeed sensor's onboard thermistor output & base the temperature portion of the windspeed calculations o...

Do you have the grounds from the power supply and the Arduino connected together?

Re: A1324 Hall Effect Sensor
The A1324 will work and is dead easy to hook up.
After confirming the pinout (do this twice as I think the datasheet shows the part from the bottom view - always a bad idea IMO), hook up power and ground and run the output into an ADC (analog) pin.

Re: A1324 Hall Effect Sensor
I'm not sure why it has Arduino crossed out - I'll investigate when I get time. The sensor works best at 5 volts, but will work down to 3.3 volts with reduced accuracy.
All and all a fabulous linear output hall-effect sensor.
