After upgrading from an Acruite 5n1 to an Atlas, I had reluctantly parted 
ways with weewx. The Atlas console does not have a usb port, and I did not 
realize there were other ways to get data from an Atlas.

Moving forward, I recently learned of SDR.  I had a moment of opportunity 
yesterday and put all the pieces together. It works!

I followed the steps Matt wrote here:

However, my initial attempt was met with silence... nothing but crickets on 
the 433MHz spectrum. 

That's when I noticed the code required to decode packets from the Atlas is 
not in the master branch of the rtl_433 project. It's in a branch called 
feat-atlas. After switching to the feat-atlas branch and building from 
that, rtl-433 came alive and started picking up data from the Atlas.

Looking at the source code, it does not appear lightning detection is 
included. I will confirm later this spring, after the first thunder storm 
rolls in, and I can get some raw data to look at. I'll certainly provide 
that data to move the project along if it is needed.


Thanks Matt and Tom for your hard work on this project.
