Maybe I should have checked the IC pads :-(
Well, I blew it…again. This time with the IC footprint for the latest boards I received from JLCPCB, the 1-wire counter board […]
MetOne Windvane: Well, so much for my EDA skills…
Back to the Kicad drawing board apparently. I inadvertently used the wrong IC outline for the MLX90316 sensor, which is an SOIC-8 […]
Another JLCPCB order sent off today
I had such good luck last time with my anemometer retrofit PCB with JLCPCB so this time I sent off another order […]
MetOne Windvane: My First PCB with JLCPCB
This has indeed taken a while. Regrettably, I haven’t been able to devote a lot of time to this project during the […]
MetOne Rain Gauge 1-Wire Retrofit
I’m currently also working a retrofit for my MetOne rain gauge using an (unfortunately, think) obsolete 1-wire device, the DS2423 counter/4K memory, […]
MetOne Anemometer
Now, on to the anemometer testing. I am currently trying to use a hardware debounce circuit (shown) and it WAS working and […]
MetOne Windvane: Testing the MLX90316 angle sensor – Part Deux
During testing the wind vane pot replacement, I was getting some weird results. I was getting errors like NO SPI DEVICE FOUND, […]
MetOne Windvane: Testing the MLX90316 angle sensor
Output (in degrees) from WindSubsystemTest code using a 10′ ethernet cable. Connection is problematic, but it does work showing that SPI signals […]
MetOne Windvane: Remedying the broken “precision” sensor problem
As I mentioned in the page for my Weather Station project, the special “precision” potentiometer somehow was reading OPEN…no resistance measured at […]
