WindGenie
To improve the efficiency of small-scale wind turbine generators, this
microprocessor-controlled device will regulate the generator output to
optimize the tip speed ratio of the turbine and thereby obtain the
maximum possible useable energy from the available wind.
It also monitors the charge state of the batteries and regulates the
charging cycles to improve battery life.
In addition, it incorporates a datalogger capable of recording all
parameters at set intervals from 5 to 240 minutes onto 32 MB SD-cards,
for periods of more than a year.
WeatherGenie
The datalogging module of the above controller is available
independently as a complete digital weather station which will record:
- wind direction
- wind speed
- temperature
- available solar energy
- humidity
- barometric pressure
A 32 MB SD-Card will permit uninterrupted recording for more than a
year at programmable intervals.

Functional layout
FlashGenie SD-Card and MMC module
To enable embedded microprocessors to access SecureDigital and MultiMediaCard flash
memory cards via a SPI port, this small circuit
board provides the MMC and SD card connector and 5V-to-3.3V level translation
circuitry as well as a low-drop-out 3.3 Volt regulator to supply the
operating voltage for the SD-card from a 5V-powered mcu board.
For additional versatility, a real time clock chip and a holder for a 3
V Lithium battery is installed on the reverse side, to provide a
permanent calendar when the mcu is powered down.
