BreezeDude Mini Transmitter

A low-power, open-source FANET weather station transmitter designed specifically for paragliders and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable real-time wind data. The BreezeDude Mini is a more compact and efficient solution for your wind station on the mountain or in the valley.

BreezeDude Mini - Features:

• Versatile sensor compatibility: Supports both Ecowitt WS80/WS85 ultrasonic sensors and analog sensors such as the DAVIS 6410.
• Efficient communication: Uses the open FANET protocol for maximum compatibility. Features an LLCC68 LoRa module with an SMA antenna connector for reliable long-range transmission in the 868 MHz band.
• Compact and energy-efficient design: At its core is an energy-efficient SAMD21 microcontroller (Arm® Cortex®-M0+) powered by a Li-Ion 16340 battery. The integrated solar cell enables continuous operation.
• Versatile interfaces: USB-C, I²C, and two UART interfaces enable easy setup, firmware updates, and integration with other devices.
• Open-source: All design files, schematics, and source codes are available in the GitHub repository—for maximum openness, customizability, and community development.
  

The BreezeDude Mini transmits current sensor data every 40 seconds, which is received by FANET-enabled variometers and ground stations and fed by them into the Open Glider Network (OGN). This ensures that up-to-date wind conditions are always available—for greater safety and better flight planning.
