DIY Windspeed Data logger
Hello guys,
This is my first post & I'm Happy to be one of this community. I've built a Vertical axis Wind turbine for domestic use it provides sufficient o/p at the moment in a weak wind regime for lighting up half a dozen 6 watt LED lamps around the house during the night. To quantify the results, I want to log 24 x 7 (and print) , the windspeeds for which its o/p is > 15 Volts D.C ( for charging a 12V battery). The requirement is a datalogger which 1) averages windspeed over a given period, say, 2 minutes, 2) averages the corresponding D.C voltage from the PMG and store the 2 values in internal memory. 3) Serial or USB output for taking a printout everyday . As I'm a DIY person, I would appreciate any suggestions. Regards, Mani |

You could use a microcontroller with it.
