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.
