wind speed and direction by remote
Transmit wind and direction data by LoRa to a large digital display.
Wednesday night sailboat racing on Lake Ontario Canada can be a bit tricky at times. The weather can change in 20 min. Which sail to use?, How to set the course? Etc. Its an unknown entity, which I admit is part of the fun to get it right.
However, the electronics person in me would like to set up a wind speed and direction sensor out at the course markers, solar powered which are approximately 5 KM away from the Clubhouse and docks.
At the docks, in an outside environment but could be inside too. A large display would show the Wind speed in Knots and wind direction in Degrees.
Accuracy for wind + or - .5 knots and wind direction accuracy + or _ 2 degrees.
The sensors on the course, send current loop analog signal to an Arduino possibly which converts the signal to digital and sends it to a LoRa modem.
At the dock, the LorA modem receives the data, sends it to an Arduino possibly and is displayed on a two-line LED . Wind speed in knots ( two digits) and wind direction in Degrees ( three digits)
I can do most of the assembly and construction, but not being very good at programming. and that is an understatement. I would have to rely on generous folks with programming skills to make it all work.

I am working on boat telemetry with a remote security function over LoRaWAN, using ESP32. I would be happy to help with the programming of this project.

I'm Not sure if it's appropriate here as I'm new to this forum but My personal email is togve@bell.net. If Nic can send me his contact info, we can discuss this further.
Thanks.

we would like to pick your idea up and makte the whole system work. It would be great if we could get in contact to sort the remaining questions out to make it as usable as possible.
Best regards
