Introduction

This is the documentation for the WindNerd 3D-printed anemometers: wind stations you print, assemble and install yourself.

The products​

  • WindNerd One and One-S: Wi-Fi sensor boards that measure wind speed and direction and upload it over your home network. The One-S adds an Eco mode for battery and solar operation.
  • WindNerd OnSpot: a cellular sensor board that uploads over the LTE network, for spots without Wi-Fi.
  • Sunbank 2W: a solar power base with battery, for fully wireless installations.

The WindNerd Core (dev board) is documented in a dedicated GitHub repository.

From kit to live wind data​

From printed parts to a live wind station

  2. Assemble: step-by-step guides with videos and photos.
  3. Install: choose a good location and mount the station on a mast.
  4. Set up your sensor board: WindNerd One(-S) or WindNerd OnSpot.
