In case you are thinking of purchasing this unit, this unit requires you to interface an analog 0-5Volt signal using an ADC in order to be able to process the data. If you didn't understand what I just wrote, then this is not the product for you.You cannot just expect to connect this to a computer. It does not do that.You cannot just connect it to a display. It does not do that.You cannot expect this to be a complete product because it is literally only the sensor part of a system. The rest you need to make/program and calibrate.Having said that, if you have electronics background, this is a 0-5Volt 360 degree continuous wind direction vane. It is linear output, not sine, so there is a discontinuity at the 0-360 degree points you will have to compensate in software for. The bonus is that if you use scaling of 5V=360 degrees, then you have a direct reading compass scale.Given the price, I honestly would have expected a more solid housing. Aluminum at a minimum, SS an optimum. Other than that, and it's got no maximum wind capacity, I have no problems with the unit. I'll be fitting it to my sail boat to get apparent wind direction on my chart plotter, after I design and make the electronics to interface the two.

I could not figure out how to hook this up to my computer. Instructions for installing and using seem to be for someone who already knows a lot about weather equipment. Not for amateurs.

Outputs a 0-5 volt signal as advertised. Worked well for an Arduino implementation as a wind data logger.

I want to know how to use it, it's not in the manual how to see on any screen.
