many. but the easiest thing for you would be to buy a US$20 usb-sdr dongle, install the weewx-sdr driver, and start capturing data from your existing hardware using that. you would also have to add a pressure sensor - this is easily done with an inexpensive chip/board that you snap onto the rpi, install a weewx service, and that adds pressure to the observations. (the acurite console has the pressure sensor in an acurite-only system) here is a guide for how to do it: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/sdr-rpi-recipe or you could purchase an acurite smarthub (no longer manufactured, but might be able to find one cheap) or an acurite access (about $40), and capture data from that using the weewx-interceptor extension. the 5in1 instruments are not bad. it is only the consoles that are flaky. some of the console models work pretty well, but given the iffy nature of usb on some rpi models, it is not the most robust solution. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
