I must be missing something here ....isn't the answer to just run weewx on the rpi with the attached station acting like a vantage without a logger, and set weewx to software record generation - or does that combination also require a clock in the 'station'? Not sure I really see what the feather is doing between the vantage and the Rpi. Guess I just completely missing the point!!
