Wind speed sensor

Post by mariusares »

Hi
I want more informations about this product:
https://www.adafruit.com/products/1733
I have seen that the cable lenght its just 99cm. I'm thinking to use a 5 to 10m long cable. Is there any problem? The lenght of the cable will affect the reading. If yes how can we fix it?
Someone can do a test please?
Thank you

You can lengthen the cable using an appropriate gauge wire and the voltage drop will be minimal. If you need precise values you should run tests on the specific unit you have and create a compensation table.
