We are using a Vortex wind sensor. One revolution per second equals 2.5 mph. Since our anemometer has a relay (a mechanical switch), it creates a switch bounce. Therefore, we need a debounce circuit.
_A bug with the current code seems to be related to saving the dateTime string. The dateTime string is saved incorrectly when there should be a trailing 0 in front of the minute reading. I believe that the current code does not include an additional 0 to save minute readings below 10.
Wireless communication codes
Opportunities to improve the system
- We are currently supplying power to the Arduinos via USB. If we used DC converters from the batteries to the Arduinos, we might save some electricity.
