The Wind Data Logger is designed to provide an affordable and easy-to-use solution to wind site evaluation and monitoring wind generator performance. It records wind speed, gust, and direction, time and date, temperature, battery voltage, and other important wind parameters. The Wind Data logger easily supports both simple and complex monitoring applications. The data logger can be used to record wind speed from a single anemometer, or it can be used for complex studies involving multiple wind instruments and other sensors.
The Wind Data Logger records directly to a Secure Digital (SD™) card. No special computer interface cables are required and the software can easily be viewed and analyzed using standard spreadsheet software.
Using custom and off the shelf hardware and software, APRS World can build whatever data logging system you need. We supply simple systems for wind site analysis and complex data logging systems with many sensors and live data streaming to the Internet.
The Wind Data Logger is available in modules and packages and in self-contained systems for outdoor use.

The Production Logger is an integrated data logging system for measuring grid tied renewable energy system input and output. An anemometer or solar radiation sensor alone can measure your available input resource. A kilowatt meter can measure system output. But only when you combine your available resource and your actual produced energy do you get the whole picture.
Add the optional Internet module and you can view your system performance with just a web browser. Just plug in an Ethernet cable and your data will automatically appear on our website: data.aprsworld.com. Standard web displays are available or we can customize your website to meet your exact needs.

APO3 is a black box designed to prevent a vehicle battery from being discharged and damaged by a DC load. Typically, it is used to switch a radio transceiver off 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off.
This is ideal for use with mobile APRS stations. It allows the radio to transmit a few position reports after the vehicle is shut off and then it turns off the radio and GPS to reduce clutter on the APRS channel and prevent the vehicle battery from discharging.

The WrenDAQ3 is a compact, turbine top data acquisition unit. It is designed to collect critical performance data for small turbine developers and testers. The WrenDAQ2 uses a license free 2.4 GHz Zigbee (802.15.4) data modem to transfer data directly to the Internet or your PC. Because the WrenDAQ3 is powered by the DC voltage from your turbine, there are no additional cables to run; this allows adding data acquisition without adding additional slip rings for the signals.
For educational and demonstration projects we are pleased to offer a combination of Chinook 200 Wind Turbine + WrenDAQ3 that is pre-wired and ready to go. This is the ultimate small wind teaching tool. A micro wind generator that is easy to understand and see operating. And fully instrumented so you can measure and observe exactly what it is doing.
The WrenDAQ was developed to meet the needs of one of our customers. We can produce a custom or semi-custom WrenDAQ to meet your exact needs. Please call or e-mail and we will be happy to discuss your needs and give you a quote.

Digi International makes a wonderful line of 802.15.4 XBee modems. They are fast, power, and reliable short range modems. The only downside to the modems is that they aren't readily available. Often the lead times are 6 weeks or more. Faced with too long of lead time and a short-deadline project, APRS World designed our own external USB modem that uses a Digi XBee-PRO modem. This production functionally similar to Digi's XBee-PRO PKG modem package.
Our XBee-PRO modem is perfectly compatible with Digi's -- because we use a Digi RF modem module. USB interface is provided by an FTDI FT232RL USB to serial converter IC.
