Hi,

Looks like a good start. The comparison of master to usb branches
<https://github.com/weewx/weewx/compare/master...usb> makes it pretty clear
what's going on.

As I was writing my original post I was also giving up on mac and switching
to a raspberry pi, so getting things working on mac isn't a huge priority.
With that being said, I'll take a stab at porting over  acurite if I get a
chance. I know very little about USB, but hopefully between the wh23xx
USBHID driver and the acurite non-HID driver I should be able to figure
things out.

Hopefully the HID spec and libraries are generally stable enough that if if
you can use the best library for a given platform (e.g., hidapi for mac)
then things will work pretty well.
