I am a rank amateur with Python coding but pretty good at CRBasic (the
Campbell Scientific programming language for many applications.)
In the last 6 years or so I have put my collection of sensors into the
Campbell data logger which then acts as a consolidation device to feed
Weather-Display and has pretty well for oh so many years.
There is so much about WeeWx that I like I have been searching for a
solution, and having found no easy good one, have with trepidation
started trying to get a driver for WeeWx to read the serial output of
the data logger into a USB on my Raspberry Pi. So far things are looking
good and over the next few weeks (I'm old and don't write code as fast
as i used to decades ago) so whether or not I'll be successful, who
knows but I'm using the backbone of FileParse and a TWI driver written
by Matthew Wall for inspiration.
I've found the loggers are exactly as you mention, able to do research
level data collection very slowly over long time periods, but also have
been used to gather very rapid sensor inputs and of course those
meteorologic ones, too, which is about as fast as I can think.
I'll keep you posted. I have lots of stuff to hang onto the logger.
The ultrasonic snow depth is already been running for a couple of years,
along with every other basic wx parameter like wind, temp, humidity,
solar, etc.
I also have a field mill to measure the vertical electric field during
storms which is pretty fun for those who are out in left field, but
would doubt anyone other than a few lightning people would have interest.
Just saying this to let the WeeWx developers know there is great
interest in such a versatile program as WeeWx is to be able to do lots
of stuff. Thanks for your help, I will let you know if I'm having
progress.
It is a hobby!
