I've got a load of software wot I wrote that gets metar info and decodes it into a Mysql database, if that's any use. chch info is available ( from the usa! ) at about 30 minutes old, updated every 30 minutes.Following on from the weather station thread on clug, i was wondering if anyone knows of any weather station units available in NZ. I think DSE used to sell one that had a serial port, but I cannot see that one on their website any more. Of course it will be connected to a linux box!
thats the sort of thing I want, consumer grade, in the order of $100.00.
Thanks.
I looked into the weather station stuff a few months ago, and you're looking as 250+ for anything even approaching useful.
What I'd like to find out more about is... there's a weather station on the top of Mt Herbert, which seems to communicate over the radio waves. Now, can we hijack those signals? With any luck you should be in line of sight!
Just a few random thoughts,
Steve
