Wind instrument computer with IMU, for accuracy and rotating masts? - fugue137 - 2019-07-25 The masthead is a great spot for wind instruments, but there are two problems:
I had been thinking along the lines of a standalone rotating-mast-correcting wind computer that talked to a wind instrument and hull and mast compasses, and output corrected NMEA0183 relative wind sentences. That would be generally useful---easy to integrate with any electronics in existence rather than just OpenPlotter. What do you think about offering an mpu9255-added version of the wind computer? Can I do this myself and still use your enclosure and code as a starting point? Thanks! |
