Wind learn is really what is needed to optimize the curve/graph.

There has been talk now for several years about a wind learning, curve/graph optimizer for the Classic in wind mode.
Just wondering if there is any progress with this or a schedule for its implementation?
I do realise that its probably well down the priority list and you are all busy on other projects but thought, FWIW, I would ask anyway.  :)

don't know a thing about whirly gigs, but did you see the curves on this page?

Found the curve for a Bergy XL-1 24V but what do the numbers mean? is that wind speed vs output?

Thanks
Chuck

All of the Classic wind curves use voltage and current. The Classic does NOT know the wind speed at least not yet.

Thanks Tom, but which number is which? Top one volts bottom amps? Sometimes I'm slow.

Thanks again
Chuck

Chuck;

If you look at the active Wind Curve in the Local App under Config>>Tech>>Wind Graph you will see they are labelled.

X is Amps
Y is Volts.

Do NOT mistake me for any kind of "expert".
