Odd-ball notes
Polyester Dye
- need to keep the fabric off the bottom of the pan, flat spots may have formed (found a small grate that will work for this)
- need to weigh the fabric down so steam bubbles don't form lifting the fabric out of the dye (have a basket with weights that will work)
- need to be above 100C for an extended period, ~45 minutes minimum
- streaking seems to be limited to one side- turning cushion forms inside out might give a better result
- first batch was small cushion, 50ml dye to 2L water, hue looks good aside from the streaking, trying a machine wash to see if the streaks go away
- 2nd go on the first cushion added 4L water but no dye, turned cushion inside out, basket to keep fabric off the bottom in place, weighted basket above in place, started cold at 10:10, reduced heat to 7 at 11 & stirred/shifted- lid should not seal perfectly- that seems to stop steam bubbles from forming- also open and close vent periodically to prevent auto-shut-off from happening
- ended…

Thinking about anemometers with no moving parts- it may be possible to use a cheap pressure sensor as a pitot tube, with a 360 degree cowling that funnels horizontal moving air upwards into the sensor (picture two smooth funnels inserted into each other). An apparently cheap & suitable sensor for Arduino is: http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=36_68&products_id=739 Coupled with a GPS chip to get SOG & COG, apparent and real wind speed could be directly output in NMEA0183 format. Add wind direction and done.
Pricey, but likely very useful: http://www.liquidware.com/shop/show/TSL/TouchShield+Slide
There's also: http://www.watterott.net/projects/s65-shield - but no touch. Available at http://www.watterott.com
And the 4D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-Cf681Qurw&feature=related available here (they also have an air pressure sensor): http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=45_72&products_id=676
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWVA3klDIkg&feature=related http://robotsat.blogspot.com/2010/06/okay-how-about-video.html
With a GPS sensor, can get time & speed, with the speed and wind direction & wind speed, should be able to output real wind & apparent wind speeds and direction from the single anemometer sensor already mounted.
This guy has a lot of info: https://sites.google.com/site/vilorei/index/arduino—serialgpsunit
Another possibility is hacking an Archos 5 or 7, since they run linux it should be possible to code normal apps for display- the issue is input, there's only one serial port, so some kind of NMEA multiplexer & converter to ethernet or USB might be better. They come with GPS and accelerometers and all kinds of capabilities built-in.
There's also Android based hardware, http://antipastohw.blogspot.com/

Maybe a pitot tube can work accurately from 360 degrees? See below:
not suitable, but a good site: http://shop.moderndevice.com/products/wind-sensor
Another thought- light-sensing for wind speed & direction? In that case no POT or essentially any connection to moving parts would be necessary. The moving parts would simply need to be free to move, and “reading” them would be a matter of sensors. Maybe CDS's to sense the position of the vane and the flashes of anemometer cups moving by? A single white LED could be used for constant illumination.
