New Station Using Vector Instruments - JT118 - 01-07-2017

New Station Using Vector Instruments; http://www.windspeed.co.uk/ws/index.html

Using Instruments from this setup bought off ebay: (manufactured 1990's but hardly used)

   

And fit to Weatherduino system along these lines;

   

Using:

RE: New Station Using Vector Instruments - JT118 - 01-07-2017

My Questions are:

Will the A100L2, which I have, work?

See spec sheet above and:

   

   

I think it should; it appears that the A100L2 has multiple outputs: mv , mA etc as well as frequency, similar to Inspeed. Wiring as below:

W200P is just a standard potentiometer output so should be OK.

I think it will work. You will let me know!

Supposing you are using the latest TX software, search for this:


immediately after the #endif add this:


Now, on the user configurable settings, choose 71 as Anemometer type


Waiting to hear from you. If it works, this anemometer model will be added to the list of supported weather instruments.

It works, thank you as always.

RE: New Station Using Vector Instruments - werk_ag - 02-07-2017

Thank you JT118

Please keep monitoring the readings, and if possible compare the wind average speed with the readings of the other weather stations you have.

Theoretically the WeatherDuino Pro2 system can work with any pulse anemometer, provided we know her specifications. However, allowing the user to choose among a list of predefined and tested types makes things easier.

Those are pro looking instruments there JT118

Very cool!

I assume this would work too; ( I also have got an A100R )

I'm afraid that it should be:


Your collection of weather instruments is impressive. The Weatherduino Pro2 system is thankful for that

Of course, I should have seen that! Collection built up over years mostly off ebay, buying parts of systems to keep others going.
