This week, David connects an anemometer to an Arduino Uno to measure the speed of the wind — the first step towards building a full weather station! | Arduino

Wind speed is typically measured using an anemometer, with common types including the cup anemometer, vane anemometer, hot-wire anemometer, ultrasonic anemometer, and Pitot tube. These instruments work by detecting the movement of air, either through mechanical rotation, changes in electrical resistance, sound wave travel times, or pressure differences. Wind speed is usually expressed in meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), or knots. #windspeed #wind #scienc
