A full description of how to make and install your own WindClock-III will be provided here in time.
Current prototype development state:
installed a raspberry pi 3 with a sensehat again, after messing up with python 3.5
python coded all data for realtime request available in a file
managed to install a couple of working online transfers with the new websockets/html5 protocols (finalizing is and now testing websocketd which is promising easier connectivity)
also working on an enviro phat hat with a zero pi w
Future work:
adding a waterproof temperature and ambient light sensor by extending the sensehat header pins
power: 5V-2A for the pi seems too much, so would use a Teensy with 3.3V 500mA (windclock-iv)
designing a shape/case for hanging it up and responsive to wind (physical calibration)
simple visualisation/sonification on the object (python will do, maybe puredata too)
work with more than one windclock (but keep it under 10 haha)
client-side for data capture (katastrof interpretation and sonification) in various programs
Make and install the real objects
rodchenko examples (see below, as a starter)

I would just cut out a spiral out of a thin wooden plate and stretch from the middle up
we'll ask more people and try them all out? that is greater fun!
More details and progress the coming weeks…
