Product Showcase: SparkFun Air Velocity Sensor Breakout

Find it here: www.sparkfun.com/products/18377
Need to keep track of the airflow in your data center or around your servers? How about making sure your HVAC and air control systems are functioning at full capacity? Or, if you're more fun, what about figuring out how fast your RC airplane is going? Well, the SparkFun FS3000 Air Velocity Sensor Breakout can help you with all that and more! It's super easy, super quick (Qwiic!) to hook up, and super fun to play with.

The HVAC reference. XD Also, the sweet demo!

Loved the Die Hard reference

Sparkfun's Jefferies Tube episode.

I understood that reference...

Can this sensor measure low air velocity such as 0.1 to 0.5 m/s?

[@Andrewtafelklavier]

Useful module BUT the sensor can’t be configured for different I2C addresses so you can only use 1 per I2C line.

[@behnamrosti]

Very interesting module. Can we connect it to the Raspberry Pi as well? I tried to find a Python-based library for that but there is nothing. Could you reply to me on how to do that?

Anyone else get triggered when he didn't lock both spreaders?

[@peacekeeper5119]

So, when I did the math correct, the sensor can measure up to 4 Beaufort (only) ?

[@petebard]

Not much of an airspeed indicator for an airplane!

[@peacekeeper5119]

@@petebard even on ground a max. 4 bft sensor is in my mind too small e.g. for a weather station

[@ekhardrabie1678]

I thought I might be able to use this on a rc airplane, but 7.23mps is literally stall speed.

No test of it's accuracy ?
