High Accuracy GPS Real-time communication ARM processor Wind buoy

Wind buoy is a small measuring system, which can observe the wind speed, wind direction, temperature and pressure with the current or in fixed point. The inner floating ball contains the components of the whole buoy, including weather station instruments, communication systems, power supply units, GPS positioning systems, and data acquisition systems.The collected data will be sent back to the data server through the communication system, and customers can observe the data at any time.
