Hi, I'd like to get some opinions for an idea I've had to measure wind direction on a tilt angle.
It's common to find wind vanes that operate on the x-plane only, on a yaw (or pan) angle. To measure the tilt angle is problematic however, because of gravity. So if I were to construct a wind vane with a tilting axis, with tilt sensors such as these :
**broken link removed**
attached at different individual angles, this should be able to communicate with a PIC the angle of the tilt.
Or am I missing something?
