This still seams very expensive for what is a very simple device (the wind
speed part anyhow) as all you have to do is count rotations for a given time
span say 60 seconds and log that result.. Looks like I will have to build
something, I’ll let people know how I get on.



Many thanks,



Stuart.

Hi Gang,

I've just sent off for a twin anemometer wind speed logging system
from a company called www.windsurvey.co.uk, check out their website.

I've gone for a twin system, so I can compare the wind speeds at
different locations, or at different hights.

Clive :-))
