Raspberry Pi Anemometer: Measuring Wind Speed

Raspberry Pi wind speed measurement using a DIY anemometer based around an IR reflectance sensor. This ExplainingComputers episode extends the Raspberry Pi weather station project that started in this video: /watch/02Csg2DpQhCps You can download my code and the see the wiring diagram for this project here: https://www.explainingcomputers.com/pi_weather_video.html The IR reflectance sensor I used is available from Adafruit here: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2349 and from Pimoroni here: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/reflective-ir-sensor-with-470-and-10k-resistors Note that I have no association with these companies. High impact polystyrene (HIPS) sheet, sometimes branded as “plasticard”, is available on Amazon.com here: https://amzn.to/3ax2fX8 (affiliate link). In the UK, you will find a wide selection here: https://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/plasticard.htm (no association).
