OK, a few issues here:
1. The Serial_Weather port type in YAAC only supports Peet Bros weather stations (or any other brand that uses one or more of the protocols Peet Bros uses for their serial weather data). Davis explicitly does not use that protocol, and does not document their protocols at all, and requires that you buy one of their WeatherLink adapters to be able to get the weather data out of one of their consoles; depending on the adapter type you buy, the weather data may or may not go to where you want it to go. 2. The WXNOW.TXT port type requires a third-party weather program (such as Cumulus) that can accept the data from your particular model of weather station and convert it into a WXNOW.TXT file that YAAC can read. The file isn't created by YAAC, but read by YAAC after the other program creates or updates the file. Sorry about the bad news. Not sure why Davis is so stingy about letting purchasers of their weather stations actually use the data by any means other than a human staring at the console screen, but that's the way they do things.

I have a friend that is very sharp on LINUX but for the life of us we have not been able to resolve some problems. When we select the port the only selection under speed is 1200, 2400, 9600 and all the documents from Davis say it must be 19200? We have even tried to use WXNOW.TXT with no joy. I now have the USB interface and the serial interface trying to solve this problem. Can you or anyone out there point us in the right direction to get the Davis to interface with YAAC under Ubuntu OS on a Raspberry Pi? -- Thank You and God Bless [image: ¡`] Richard Richard Beggs N0EB 145.295 1220 H Street Salida, Co. 81201 ** |
