=====Wind Sensor Team Meeting-February 17, 2017===== **Attended: Mengyuan, Creighton, Scott** =====Acoustic Wind Sensor===== * Updates: * Completed real time processing algorithm * Documented development of algorithm * To Do: * Test accuracy of algorithm with a single microphone =====Ultrasonic Wind Sensor===== * Updates: * Documented the test procedure, readjusted the voltage thresholds to 70% of the maximum value * Implemented wave counting using voltage thresholding and hardware interrupts, for one and then two microphones. * Ran experiments involving counting wave periods and the wave-counting algorithm * Was able to play a 1kHz signal and have both microphones measure the time it took to count 1000 wave periods * Derived the original frequency based off of the number of periods (1000) and the elapsed time (f = periods/time) * Results were fairly accurate (mic 1 was generally within 1 Hz and mic2 was within 5 Hz) * Because mic2 is farther away, we think that some waves might have been "lost", or didn't have enough energy to successfully trigger mic2 in order to be registered. * To Do: * Think of ways to improve the accuracy of mic2 (maybe use a louder source?) * Implement the algorithm to derive the propagation time between mic1 and mic2 (and thus the wind speed). * Create a Schmitt trigger using an op-amp and replace the comparator circuit
