On the off chance that there are any more original 1-wire Dallas weather stations that are ready to be dusted off and redeployed, then there is a modified driver available at... https://github.com/glennmckechnie/weewx-owfs It's based on mwalls original owfs.py driver but for the time being it

Glenn, Indeed something got cut off on the beginning. Not sure how that happened but it was a little background on me and my minimal programing experience with an Ames breadboard computer back in '79 when I was in college and it was for Electronics for Scientists class. I was not the best of

) pop up (two addresses if in between two reed switches they both close). so, in my data, if A is north 01.B5374A04 returns as the address, if North by NE then both 01.B5374A04 and 01.B2374A04 return as addresses. I guess I can really try to fumble thru writing code, I was just

I don't have one of these, so what follows is only building on what you've reported. As you say, the weewx-owfs driver appears to be focused on voltage sensing/conversion. As I recall the AAG windvane (at least the one I had and can't find) used reed switches so its logic started from simple

I have searched high and low on this group to look for old threads, seems everyone has the voltage Wind Direction using OWFS. Can someone just point me in the right direction or to the right forum? Looked at OWW too. Thanks for any and all input. Bret Craytor On Monday, March 23, 2020 at
