The CMA ML90s Anemometer is a digital sensor for measuring wind speed between 0.4 and 35 m/s. It generates an electrical pulse every 0.1 m/s of wind, with a resolution of 0.1 m/s. The sensor is easy to use and can be connected to specific interfaces that support I2C digital sensors. It comes with a factory calibration and provides accurate wind speed readings in m/s. The ML90s is ideal for various experiments, such as measuring wind speed generated by a fan, investigating wind speed differences over land and ocean, and determining wind direction using a compass.
