Ill be experimenting with this concept. I have a wx station that died, ice fell from roof and struck rx / tx unit and broke it. I still have wind speed / direction unit on roof with cables leading down from it.
Id like to hook it up for now and rx values and play with it a bit, but in the end i want to make a setup that will orient a small wind turbine into the wind based on 1 minute averages from wind direction sensor. (or 2 -3 min avg... whatever makes sense) ...
Also want the windspeed to add values to the equation so that if the wind gets too strong, it will orient the turbine out of the wind as to slow it down. Or if there is no windspeed it could orient to a home position. The 360 positioning could get interesting, but i think it can be figured out...
Solar tracker is on the list as well, reading from TLE files generated from tracking software like www.stoff.pl
