wind tunnel upgrade!

wind tunnel controller v2

We’ve got another 24 workshops coming up over the next to weeks for SAUCE, and so we’ve taken the opportunity to upgrade the wind tunnel.

  • New motor with more rugged turbine fitting,
  • upgraded RPM and current sensing,
  • new PLC for fan control,
  • software updated for better RPM measurement and serial communications.

I’ve also posted the software for the PC and the microcontroller on my github pages. Thanks to Power Drive Service for rapid delivery of the new PLC!
