Wind meter LEXCA003

Simple and robust educational anemometer for measuring wind speed with Arduino or micro:bit, ideal for learning projects and weather stations.

Features
The LEXCA003 anemometer is designed for introducing weather measurements and data acquisition in an educational context. It operates using a reed switch (ILS) that opens and closes with each full rotation of the cups, generating pulses proportional to the wind speed.

Each pulse per second corresponds to a wind speed of 2.4 km/h, making it easy to calculate wind force by counting pulses. The sensor can be easily connected to an Arduino board or a micro:bit board, particularly via a Grove connection board, ensuring quick and accessible setup for beginners.

Thanks to its robust design and simple operating principle, this anemometer is perfectly suited for school projects, scientific discovery workshops, and the creation of educational weather stations.
