I was just reading your article about using the anenometer and before I dash off and order one, is there anything else I need or need to know?
Do you still recommend this as the way to calibrate a dimmer or a variac?
Will this work?

I would think this device would be great with a dimmer, but even better with the variac since people have reported that it does a better job at consistency. I'm curious to know if there's an option that would hook up to the Phidget. I see people in the Phidget community saying that there are anemometers compatible, but I haven't found one yet.

I might have misunderstood, but I was interested in the anenometer as a way to calibrate the dimmer or the variac, not to be used in any ongoing fashion.
I think it would allow me to re-mark the Variac to indicate the % of actual air flow. I did the "match thing", but....all matches are not created equal :-(((( I want to have a better read on what the settings on my Variac translate to in terms of real air flow.

From what the specs say and some reviews on Amazon, that device would help you accomplish this task. Other Amazon reviews about that particular device scares me from having any desire to try this exact device. Since it's on Prime though, returning it should be easy if any of the issues people report hold true.
Personally, I like what this guy is doing with the Phidget. He's measuring airflow with Artisan and graphing it.

Probably best to wait for hankua to respond, eh? Would be better to get input from the genius behind the anenometer setup.
SusanJoM:
Cool link, thanks. :)
Well, maybe not???
Now I want one of those :-))))
