Electronic Windvane

January 6, 2021January 7, 2021Leave a comment

This project documents how to make a windvane to sense the wind direction. It was designed for an autonomous sailboat but could be used in other applications. The main sensor is a magnetic encoder that outputs an analog voltage in the 0-5V range, and the structure is mostly 3D printed. For my application I used … Continue reading Electronic Windvane

Ardupilot with Mobile Data Telemetry

December 31, 2020December 31, 2020Leave a comment

Using ardupilot with a telemetry radio to send data to your groundstation is the easiest setup and works very well. It is limited by RF range, which is determined by the radio power (more power gives more range but costs more and may require a ham radio license). The range also depends on good line-of-sight … Continue reading Ardupilot with Mobile Data Telemetry
