Hello Tom, I do own a "Streaming Data Logger" (P/N 6540). It has been connected between my VP2 and a TNC, posing weather data on the APRS system. What I'd like to be able to do is to also post that data to WeatherUnderground and CWOP. I am under the impression that this can be accomplished

That's a bit harsh Vince - many people use a webcam to supply weather images for use on their weewx generated webpages . and the webcam capture may have to co-exist with the weewx weather station capture and subsequent data processing. Certainly some time ago I found that my original RPi

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Do you own a logger? If so, why would you want to use it to "pull the data out and convert to RS232 levels?" Why not just use it directly? If you don't own a logger, are you trying to avoid buying one by connecting your VP2 directly to the RPi via serial
