# OpenWind
|
|
|
|
Receive and display data from a wireless [OpenWind](https://www.openwind.de/) sailing wind instrument on the Bangle.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Upon startup, the app will attempt to automatically connect to the wind instrument. This typically only takes a few seconds.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
The app displays the apparent wind direction (via a green dot) and speed (green numbers, in knots) relative to the mounting direction of the wind vane.
|
|
If "True wind" is enabled in settings and a GPS fix is available, the true wind speed and direction (relative to the mounting direction of the vane) is
|
|
additionally displayed in red. In this mode, the speed over ground in knots is also shown at the bottom left of the screen.
|
|
|
|
## Controls
|
|
|
|
There are no controls in the main app, but there are two settings in the settings app that can be changed:
|
|
|
|
* True wind: enables or disables true wind calculations; enabling this will turn on GPS inside the app
|
|
* Mounting angle: mounting relative to the boat of the wind instrument (in degrees)
|
