Re: [weewx-user] Re: Raspberry PI and Davis Vantage Pro2 question

[Thomas Keffer]

The serial logger used to be more reliable, but over the last couple of
years, I have not noticed any difference.

Also, because most computers these days do not come with a serial port, you
are likely to need a serial-to-usb converter, which can be unreliable.

Today, I would get the USB version.

The USB logger would lose connection sometimes and the serial was more
reliable from what I had heard.

Whats the difference if one buys the USB data logger instead of serial, 
will it also work? I am considering to purchase a Davis Vantage Pro2,

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Raspberry PI and Davis Vantage Pro2 question

[Andrew Milner]

the database created by weewx is just a standard database which can be 
accessed by anything I guess.

the drivers rely to some extent on the weewx manager to get the data from 
the stations

the reports (html pages) can be created by a standalone utility that could 
be called by anything I guess

Maybe you could / should be more specific.  Weewx is composed of several 
parts - manager, drivers, report generation, restful services but its 
outputs are standard entities - database tables. files, html pages etc 
which can be used/accessed by anything

Hello,
Can we import weewx into another script (for example pyqt) to create a GUI 
for showing data? If yes, please tell me how to do that!
Thanks!

Yes! That's the same datalogger that I have got! Today I will buy the *serial

Glad to help. Don't worry about your English, it's better than some I've

Wow! That's fantastic! Thank you very much! I was thinking that the 
original datalogger was encrypted or something... I'm so happy to know that 
is not true! Thank you again!
Maybe this weekend I can work on this project. If I have any news, i will 
post them in a new thread.

Thanks again and sorry for my bad English!

If you already have the Davis serial logger all you need is a serial to USB
adapter to plug into the Pi.

I have the "stock" datalink with the serial cable (RS-232 i think) and i 
need to connect it to the rPi2 to collect all the data from the station. 
Can I use a simple serial to USB adapter 

 or 
do i need something more? The Vantage Pro2 Plus of my school has the very 
first firmware installed and it is not possible to update without the 
updater  that costs 
too much for me, is that mandatory or maybe weeWX  works 
also with this firmware?

Thank yo very much!
