Development of digital wind speed meter with wind direction

An aerovane is one of the devices that is used to measure wind speed and direction. The wind speed measured using aerovane is much more acurate as it measures the speed of the wind which parallel to the wind direction. This project mainly focuses on using microcontroller PIC 16F877A to control the c...
