Abstract
Measurement of wind speed and direction can be done by observation using a measuring instrument in the form of an anemometer, but the results are not accurate. The research aims to design prototype decision support system based on an optocoupler and magnetic sensor for wind detection that works automatically detects speed and direction of the wind. The software development model used is the Prototype Model. The result of this research is a prototype wind detector that can be used to determine the speed and direction of the wind in an area. The information produced can be used for decision support systems as a reference for mapping the potential of wind energy in an area and determining the timing for fishing.
