Hi
another Brisbane station up and running, first I must thank all involved in the development of the station and making it available to all, it has been a very enjoyable project to build. I have just added a wind vane to the system I used a Hall effect 0-360 Deg angle sensor available on Ebay and Alliexpress for about $27Aus, the device looks like a small electric motor with a 6mm stainless shaft, precision bearings, torque <5mN-m, long life 50 million revolutions and no contacts three terminals on the base gnd, Vcc (5V) and output (0-5V) at the moment the wind vane is under test and working satisfactory using the Inspeed E vane settings
Looks great!
Is the system weather sealed? Did you turn the parts yourself?
Hi,
thanks for the interest, I turned the top that holds the vane it fits over the sensor so that moisture is unable to enter from the top I will seal the bottom with dual layer heat shrink when I mount it outside. Weatherproof sensors are now available unfortunately not when I ordered the one I used.

Nice work.
Maybe it works even better using the Davis vane settings. Have you tried it?

Thanks,
I have changed the settings to the Davis vane which has the same output as the sensor I used 0-5v, I have aligned the base and vane using a compass I am very happy with the results, a very accurate and sensitive wind vane.
Fantastic!
Please could you post links to the unsealed part you used? Also the sealed one you mentioned?
I haven't been able to find them on Ali express.
Hi,
I found this one:
Holzer Angle Sensor
but I can't find waterproof one - it will be interesting ...

Hi
the Holzer angle sensor is the one I used with an IP rating of IP40
the weatherproof version has a rating of IP65 link below.
Wholesale 360 degree 0-10V output Contactless angle position sensor - Alibaba.com
Calt HAE18 SSI is another version with an IP65 rating, they also make a hall effect wind vane, listed on Alibaba.com
