Hi arduino community. I am glad to be a member. I will try to explain you the project. I want to use an arduino board to recieve data from an Wind direction sensor anemometer output 0.4-2v and with help of programming i will operate a stepper motor which his rotor will show me the orientation of wind in degrees like indicator. With this procedure. i want to simulate the movement of a wind turbine in order to have a better impact angle from wind. I would appreciate your help in order to decide the correct board and stepper motor.
What is the stepper moving? How heavy? How fast? What resolution (in degrees)? If all that you need is an analog input for the sensor voltage and 2 or 3 outputs for the stepper driver control, any Arduino will do. You will also need a power supply for the stepper as the Arduino will not provide the current (or, often, voltage) that a stepper will require. As for the stepper driver, you must pick the stepper first and then the specs for the driver will be known.
