How to Use Wind Direction Sensor with Arduino
We will learn how to use this analog wind direction sensor This is a Chinese wind direction sensor, sometimes it is just really hard to get the datasheet, or we can’t read the datasheet in Chinese. Let’s see the specification first, I don’t read Chinese but I think the label means operating voltage or voltage input is 12-24 volt. And the output is 0-5 volt.
