Raspberry Pi wind speed measurement using a DIY anemometer based around an IR reflectance sensor. This ExplainingComputers episode extends the Raspberry Pi weather station project that started in this video:    • Raspberry Pi Weather Station  

You can download my code and the see the wiring diagram for this project here: https://www.explainingcomputers.com/p...

The IR reflectance sensor I used is available from Adafruit here: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2349 and from Pimoroni here: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/re... Note that I have no association with these companies.

High impact polystyrene (HIPS) sheet, sometimes branded as “plasticard”, is available on Amazon.com here: https://amzn.to/3ax2fX8 (affiliate link). In the UK, you will find a wide selection here: https://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/pl... (no association).
