Hall effect wind vane - Bneaus - 21-04-2017
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?
RE: Hall effect wind vane - Bneaus - 22-04-2017
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?

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.
