The ultrasonic anemometer measures wind speed and direction. It has high accuracy, no moving parts, no maintenance.
Magnetometer (electronic compass)
Adjusts the anemometer’s wind direction value according to compass north, and also feeds the app with true heading for the yacht (provided the sensor is aligned with the yacht’s longitudinal direction.
Gyroskop Accelerometer
Assists the magnetometer in providing a correct value also when the yacht is heeling.
Processor / memory module
BLE / Wifi module
For communication with the Windwaze app.
Power converter 12v > 5v plus a connector with cable to connect to 12v
Power consumption is a very low 30 mA, so it is recommended to have the sensor device powered on at all times.
