Script to read wind speed from a Davis Anémomètre-girouette Vantage Pro (6410)
https://www.shapemaker.io/blog/wind-speed-measurements-with-anemometer-and-a-raspberry-pi
Connexion:
black (wind speed ) -> gpio21
green (wind direction) -> ADS1115 (module I2C)
Yellow -> 5v
RED -> GND
Attention: The Raspberry Pi doesn't have analog inputs, so we need an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to read the wind direction.
