thingiverse

Build a wind vane with plastic parts using this USB device alongside a Yocto-Knob for accurate wind direction readings through USB. These parts are designed to work with any electronics featuring GPIO, such as Raspberry Pi or Arduino, and come with instructions for assembly. The wind vane is assembled using screws and brass threaded inserts, allowing for easy disassembly and a sturdy final product. Additional hardware required includes five 3mm LEDs, five 3mm photo-transistors, five 200 ohm resistors, non-insulated wire, electric wire, a Yocto-Knob or equivalent, a 3mm axle, two 3x10x4 stainless bearings, M3 threaded inserts, M3 screws and headless screws, 13x3 metallic washers, glue suited for your 3D printer material (MEK for ABS), tools such as a glue gun, fine wire cutter, tweezers, soldering iron, and mounting steps.
