Here is my "non-scientific" feedback, as I had not deal with WeatherDuino myself, and some of your inquiries, were mine as well. Besides some similarities (as I learned), dealing with RPi is not the same as dealing w Arduino - RPi is to behave as a "micro-computer", while Arduino is to beha

Thanks. I understand the term and have browsed the wiki so I understand the concept well. What I don't have a feeling for -- and I appreciate that mileages may vary -- is how straightforward it is in practice. I use Raspberry Pi SBCs quite a lot but have not yet worked on an Arduino system. I'm

Hi Colin Thank you for prompt reply (tried to directly, but no contact info on site... pls, consider). Davis is the "Cadillac" of PWS's, but at a price. Discovered WeatherDuino through your weewx site (which seems an interesting take). Please, share if "too much trouble", "too much time", or
