The wind took us...
Somewhere in the fediverse... 🌀

Unser erster Prototyp ist endlich fertig und möchte ausgiebig getestet werden. Mit deiner Hilfe wollen wir das WINDKIT aufs Testfeld bringen! Dafür haben wir eine Crowdfundingkampagne bei Startnext gestartet. Wir freuen uns sehr um jede Unterstützung!

Yeah our datalogger demo dashboard is online 😍 This is a first proof of concept of the datalogger receiving 'important' 😝 weather data from our #ecowitt WS80 via RF 868 and sending it via MQTT to the dashboard! Have a look here: v.gd/dashboard
Last weekend we had our workshop on the Windkit datalogger 😊 The datalogger was assembled and tested. There are still some bugs to be fixed and the code is not ready yet, but a big step has been taken. Thanks goes out to the @GOSHCommunity for funding this event ✨
All code and hardware designs are open and can be found at v.gd/dataloggerfw and v.gd/dataloggerhw.
🎧 @netzbasteln interviewed us at the Open Hardware Forum 🥰 Listen to the episode at @dlfnova v.gd/dlfosh . Hear us from minute 10! 🎧 (German only)
Why the hell do people always attach their homemade wind turbines to cars? Instead of driving around and wasting petrol, use a data logger to find out more about the turbine's performance!
It was a lot of fun to get to know the community and make open hardware more visible. #FOH23 was a small glimpse into the future, let's stay tuned to make it a reality 💫
Thanks for having us and for organizing this event @okfde 🤗

there will be a physically compiled version of windkit, down from the repo, right into the center of berlin. bring your lightbulps, openhardware will power it!

Yeah, we will be part of the #FOH23 Forum Open:Hardware hardware.forum-open.de/ , have a look at the schedule (only in german) !
Hey, auf dem Prototype Fund Hardware Blog ist heute ein Interview über unser Projekt erschienen 💥 Wir sprachen mit @ma__vo über die Potenziale von Kleinwindkraft, Reparierbarkeit und Challenges bei der Entwicklung aber lest lieber selbst, viel Spaß! 🤓

Last weekend we met some of the other projects who are currently funded by the Prototype Fund Hardware. Thanks for sharing and organizing!
Halbzeit! Am WE trafen sich die geförderten Projekte der 1. Runde des Prototype Fund #OpenHardware. Sie beschäftigen sich mit der Entsalzung von Wasser, der Aufbereitung von Textilfasern, Kleinwindenergie sowie mit Infrastrukturen für Pilzlabore, Makerspaces und mobile Küchen.
Wind datalogger prototyping: For measuring wind speed and direction we use the wireless WS80 from Fine Offset Electronics. Finally we receive a signal and thanks to the folks of rtl_433 and @chzu we are able to decode the payload!

We took part of the first Conformity Assessment Body (CAB), a decentralized authority for attestation of #OpenSourceHardware (#OSH) according to DIN SPEC 3105. The CAB was organized by @OSEGermany, thanks for the invite! v.gd/1Rjkah
