MicroWind - The Raspberry Pi Windmill

myminifactory

This project started as a school assignment. I underestimated how much it would take off. Building instructions are on their way, and you can get them free of charge! Check back here for more information. All cards are on the table - you'll need to purchase some stepper motors. You can find the ones I used in an Amazon link included with the building instructions. Any links provided aren't affiliate links, and aside from motor and file costs, any software or code expenses come at no cost! Enjoy! UPDATE: Darksky was recently acquired by Apple, which is a negative development because the API's lifespan has been shortened. Apple has stated that the API will remain operational until 2021, but they are no longer accepting new users. Since a significant portion of this project relies on Darksky (at least in its current version), the main function of this object is now limited for new users. If you download this now, it may actually be easier to code without Darksky's involvement. I originally created this to adjust its RPM based on local wind speed, but unfortunately, Darksky can no longer serve that purpose for new users.
