Hello to all! I want to build the setup with an rtl-sdr stick to receive the data from my Vantage Pro 2.
The rtl-sdr stick which i have bought is the new version v4 which cames in 2023. https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-blog-v4-dongle-initial-release/ Is this new hardware version compatible with the solution of luc https://github.com/lheijst/weewx-rtldavis and the new install from vince under https://github.com/vinceskahan/weewx-rtldavis Does anyone have i tested with the v4 stick?
