DIY Three Cup Wind Speed Sensor Module (Anemometer Pulse Output for Weather Station)
The DIY Three Cup Wind Speed Sensor Module is a mechanical anemometer designed for accurate measurement of wind speed in outdoor monitoring applications. It features a three-cup rotating assembly that converts wind velocity into digital pulse signals using a magnetic or Hall-effect sensing mechanism. The pulse frequency is proportional to the wind speed, allowing easy measurement through microcontrollers, PLCs, and data acquisition systems.
Designed for reliable outdoor operation, this wind speed sensor is ideal for weather stations, agricultural monitoring, environmental sensing, renewable energy projects, IoT systems, and industrial automation. It offers low starting wind speed, stable performance, and simple integration with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, and other embedded platforms.
