stole it, thanks for the smile!
Nice weather. Went and picked up another load of firewood today. Was going to do it the other day but I rested my sore feet instead. Once we get the wood off-loaded, I’ll set the truck up as a crane again and get the next tunnel frame in the ground.
Got a decent Christmas bonus. I have a feeling I’m getting an X-420 automation controller for Christmas. That’s the one that will read the wind speed sensor that puts out a low frequency in Hertz/Hz.
Delved deeper into the electrical jargon.
I couldn’t get a wind speed reading on the rocketbombplane because nothing I had access to read it will read a frequency that low.
1 mph = 0.2192 Hz which means 100 mph = 21.92 Hz.
21.92 Hz is equivalent to a 100 mph wind and requires spinning the wind speed sensor at 10,000 rpm.
A web search informed me that the only people reading Hz well below 20 Hz, are audio people and they have special equipment like a really good Spectrum Analyzer.(4 digit price) For non-audio people, there were a bunch of highly technical answers on places like stackexchange(uber smart ppl) that might work.
I got a wind direction reading without a problem and that part of the rocketbombplane is more apt to fail than wind speed which is a magnet spinning near a coil(very thin copper wires wrapped up like twine). It’s the least apt thing to fail.
It’s very likely that the wind speed part works fine. I just need to get the controller that will read it.
