Reading fan speed from the Barani MeteoShield Pro fan-aspirated model (FARS)

Posted on May 1, 2023May 1, 2023 by meteodrenthe

In this post, I explained how I use a Wemos D1 Mini microcontroller and a MOSFET module to control the fan speed of a wired fan-aspirated MeteoShield Pro from Barani Design. I am also testing a model with a fan powered by solar panels. Both come with two additional wires connected to a reed switch…

Controlling fan speed on a Barani Design prototype fan-aspirated radiation shield

Posted on April 28, 2023May 10, 2023 by meteodrenthe

Recently, I was fortunate to receive a new prototype model of the fan-aspirated MeteoShield Pro from Barani Design. On this version, the solar panels are replaced with two power wires, making it possible to connect an external power source, allowing the fan to be active 24 hours a day. Varying fan rpm is possible by…

My personal weather station is located in a small township in the North of the Netherlands.

This blog records updates to my setup, development of components, weather reports and anything related.

Real time data generated by the weather station can be found on meteodrenthe.nl.
