Diving into open hardware data logging for small wind turbines
- Email address by which you may be contacted.
- What open science hardware tool(s) will be the focus of your event?
windkit, a small wind winturbine
oswilog, datalogger for small windturbines
- Describe your course or workshop, whom and what it is for, where and when it will be held, how many attendees (IRL or virtual) you expect.
The windkit is our OSH small wind turbine kit and mainly used for scientific and educational purposes in our past workshops with our association ERNI e.V… The workshop will focus on the question how to to acquire and visualize performance data from small wind turbines. The event will take place in the colorlabor (Kassel, Germany) during May 2023 and ist open to all who are interested in open source data logging and have a basic understanding in electronic circuits and programming. We will work with 5-10 participants in a 1 day workshop.
We will give a hands-on introduction to Open Source Hardware with a prototype of windkit, the tools used, our development process and licensing issues. Participants will build tools on how to acquire performance data from the windkit using various sensors as well as environmental data and working with and on the windkit-datalogger. windkit-datalogger is in early stage and based on the Open Small Wind Logger (OSWiLog) project. Finally, they work with tools to visualize data, calculate power curves based on the collected data. Participants are invited to join the development of windkit-datalogger by making commits to the hardware design and software code.
- Do you have plans for ongoing activities after this event OR is it intended that the participants will continue activities after this event? If so, describe the intentions and plans here.
Interested participants are invited to join the windkit project, especially the windkit-datalogger. We will hold further wind turbine curses based on the work of this event.
- What event outputs (e.g. teaching materials, curricula, software, etc.) will you make available? Will these outputs carry an open license?
The output will be a repository featuring the software code and the hardware designs of the windkit-datalogger, based on the work participants have achieved in the workshop. The repository will be released under a open license (CERN-OHL-S-2.0).
- What you will use the grant for, roughly.
-$250 Allowance for trainers
-$150 Hardware (sensors, microcontrollers, ect.)
-$50 Makerspace rend
-$50 Snacks
- Provide links (references) to documentation or reviews of similar
events or works you have executed.
