weather station mods
Hi!
New to the group, but a quick google didn't turn up anything appropriate. I'm looking for info about mods to cheap weather station devices to allow hooking them up to a computer for data logging purposes. Mid-range instruments often have an optional adapter, but paying $200 for an RS232 interface seems rather -- taken. I'm wondering if anyone around here has experience with taking data from $30 -50 instrument (Oregon Scientific has a few in this range, and the now-cleareanced Target "Eddie Bauer" weather monitor was less). These don't have wind speed gear, but that's available cheaper than RS232 adapters =8-0. Thanks! /dps |

One of the routes I'm imagining would be to do take-offs from the
display module leads, with a Stamp to translate these back to data values, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of these units had a serial port at TTL (or other logic) levels, only needing a level- shifter for RS232 hookup. Or maybe USB in the newer ones ;-} /dps |
