Ultrasonic Anemometer Part 30: Downsized Hardware

In my last post of this series I’ve looked at different transducers and finally decided on a entirely waterproof 14mm model. The much lower signal level from those kind of transducers makes it necessary to reduce the distance between the transducers in order to still receive a reasonable signal amplitude. So I took my previous lasercut design and reduced it in size so that the distance between the transducers is only 120mm. I went to the local FabLab and and lasered two copies of the downsized design.

Stand-alone Inductance Meter

Some of you may have seen my arduino-based inductance meter in this post: /posts/arduino-based-inductance-meter/. The guys at dangerousprototypes.com picked it up (http://dangerousprototypes.com/2014/12/16/arduino-based-inductance-meter/) and this blog got more visitors than I could ever have imagined. Thanks, dangerousprototypes.
