► An affordable frequency
to voltage converter connected to an anemometer logging the wind speed,
with an affordable interface that requires input voltages between 0 and 5
volts.
Hello
Have you come across any affordable frequency to voltage converters that are
already constructed to convert the frequency output to a range of 0 to 5 volts
depending on the wind speed?
I have had a couple of frequency to voltage converters constructed for me for
some other anemometers. The one for the Young anemometer worked for my
interface and data logger. However, another one gave a steady voltage on a volt
meter. However, on the read out with the data logger it gave erratic readings
which is strange, because the readings on the data logger normally match the
volt meter. Perhaps, the voltage produced by one of the frequency to voltage
converters was not smooth enough for the data logger. I am not sure if this
problem could be rectified. Do you have any ideas on this?
Alternatively, do you know of any affordable data loggers or interfaces that
would enable me to directly record the frequency in a text file.
I have many other electronic projects which would benefit many people and I
need help to set them up. Please see http://www.advantagein.com/electronics
I also have many websites with new ideas, including separate free groups,
unique inventions with advantages, and rare information with solutions to help
people. Please see http://www.advantagein.com/community.htm
for a brief summary. I would appreciate your feedback and help. Are you
able to swap links or share any letters that I could send you?

Please share this letter with other people and let me know who could help with
any of these ideas. It would be appreciated if you could print it out and
display it. I could also send you some photocopies or a link to a printer
friendly format. I also have this letter as an email that you can share.
Your help would be appreciated
