The 6510USB or 6510SER will plug into the VP2 console and speak the protocol over... USB or serial. I have a VP2/6510SER and it works well, via a RPI3 running NetBSD. I am unclear about Envoy, and whether it is able to receive the VP2 ISS signals. I kind of have the impression that there is an Envoy for VP and another flavor for VP2 but am really unclear. Beware that weatherlink is a word used with lots of qualifiers and "weatherlink foo" and "weatherlink bar" do not necessarily have closely similar behavior. https://www.davisinstruments.com/products/wireless-weather-envoy That sort of looks like you need a 6510USB to plug into the Envoy, but I have never seen, touched, or considered buying an Envoy. I hope this helps you understand better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
