Hi Guys can you help me understand the Davis products? My Peet Bros wind vane has blown off the roof again. Didn't last long. Although the first one lasted about 5 years, this one's done maybe 2 at best.
I can't seem to get a new wind vane for it unless I import from the US, which is not a great idea (done before etc very expensive with the taxes, then it breaks, repeat repeat) So think I'll have to replace the whole station, which I didn't really want to do. But at least I'll get spares from UK shops. I like a wired station setup, due to reliability/simplicity and it must work with weewx reliably. (no periodic fiddling or messing) So was thinking a vantage pro2 wired with a serial interface to connect to my Pi. To be honest not interested in the console as I generally never look at them. Can't see the point when I can use the weewx on my phone or PC. If I had my way there would be a blank box with serial socket to connect the Pi to, plus power, nothing more. But I guess I have to have that anyway, but does the console have the serial connection on it to get to the Pi? How do I go from my serial USB cable on my Pi to the Davis? Do I have to buy something else? Not interested in any of the Davis logging stuff, just want the raw data flowing into weewx on a Pi, nothing more. Thanks Chris Have tried to understand this from the Davis website, but can't work it out, think they just trying to sell a logging package which I don't want. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
