#### Operating Instructions

1. The Wind Direction will be displayed on the OLED.

### Calibration Procedure

Download the sample program, the OLED Module should display the grayscale value.

Use the included mini compass to point the wind vane needle towards North, then record the value shown on the OLED module, this value is the calibration value for North.

Input the calibration value for North.

{% hint style="info" %}
For example, OLED shows 443 when it is pointing at North, so we input 443 into the program.
{% endhint %}
