Nice work and thanks for sharing. Both your hardware and software look very clean.
I'm curious what turbine you are using - looks like a vertical axis in your sketch.

@11thtoe Yes, it is a small (0.25 m^2) VAWT (Lenz2 type). I wanted to try other designs but then realized that without data, there is no real way to compare them. :-)

Have you compared this method to what the pros do? I think they use IEC 61400-12. Great project! This could be very useful.

@Fearlessthinker No, I haven't consulted any standards. I just made it useful for my own purposes. :-)
@Fearlessthinker I'll have to check IEC 61400-12 out. Thanks for the information; its always good to see what the accepted practice is.
Excellent. I never thought of an SD add on card. I was going to transmit data to a laptop.
