hi all,
my first post as im new to the site,im in my 3rd year of college studying electronics,i have beed tasked with a project.i must build a device that measures the speed of wind and transmits this information to a handheld device which outputs it to a display in either knots,kilometers and miles with respect to time.i must use either infared or radio for the transmit/recieve.
i have researched afew anemometers and so far i think the cup anemometer is best for my application.i have an intitial block diagram (see attached)(also i dont know whether i need to use a microcontoller before i transmit)i know i will need a microcontoler and an lcd display at the receive end so i will probably be using the 8051 and using c-code to program it.
Any suggestions,tips would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
