Thanks Ruben, but I think we probably have enough volunteers now. But if anyone drops out then I'll get back to you.

Yes correct. And there's input isolation, so should be especially useful for cabled consoles to avoid ground loops etc (though most users have wireless consoles I know).

[weewx-user] Re: Raspberry Pi hardware beta tester wanted - Davis station
ok then - so it has the same facilities as the belfryboy logger (£59 shipped) except that it has onboard RTC , leds and connects direct to pi specific header pins instead of general purpose usb - have I got it right now??

No, it does have logging built-in, plus other features like LEDS to show real-time communications to console, isolation from console, RTC, etc. (And of course freedom from any potential USB issues.)

[weewx-user] Re: Raspberry Pi hardware beta tester wanted - Davis station
so all it does is provide the serial connection without any logger facility as opposed to say the belfryboy which provides a logger and usb connection - is that correct? so of no use in cases of power cuts etc - correct?

[weewx-user] Re: Raspberry Pi hardware beta tester wanted - Davis station
Yes, that's right - there's an adapter plug that fits directly on to the console's expansion port and then cables to the Pi or Pi Zero. If I might ask an indelicate question: we're really looking for someone who's an experienced weewx user so that (i) they can give the unit a through workout and (ii) if there were to be any issues (not at all sure why there might be, but if...) then they might be able to take some first steps in troubleshooting.

I have a Davis VP2 Plus with a spare console, but am in the US. I'm curious though - this Pi hat plugs right into the console's expansion port?
