Abstract

The windsock is a meteorological instrument that indicates wind direction. This instrument is critical in sea travel and aviation and this sensor can prevent accidents in emergency situations such as storms caused by a particular wind direction.hus, in this work it is proposed to develop an electronic windsock using a rotary encoder module and infrared LEDS. For the development of the Wind Direction Sensor project an Arduino microcontroller and c ++ language were used. The engineered hybrid system converts the rotations into an electrical signal. These signals were associated with east, west, north and south orientations. The projected sensor presented a lower probability of error in the wind direction information when compared to the windsock that employs 5mm Infrared LED.
