Hi all. First post here. I have been on a several month journey of building my own weather station using an Arduino Mega and an ESP8266 wifi communications module along with a number of sensors. I have 3-D printed anenometer, wind-vane, and rain-meter parts of my own design and have calibrated these instruments. The data I am getting from my set up seems to be reliable compared to readings from a nearby weather station posted on WU. Right now, I have the data from the weather station being sent to a very simple web server that I built on a Linux 16.04 virtual machine running on my FreeNAS11 box. I've written a php script that accepts posts from the ESP8266 (data passed to it from the Arduino) and the php script takes live data and constructs a web page that I can access from any browser. The php script also writes posted sensor data to a MySQL database on the Linux server, and queries the same database to receive conditioned data like max/min temps, averaged data, etc. The php script also writes to a "|" (vertical bar) delimited raw data file (similar to that used by WD, and others) that is constantly updated and can be read by any program with simple parsing techniques.
Attached are a screen shot of my webpage, and a copy of my raw data file with some data in it. My question to this group is, is there any way to "show" custom weather station data to weewx so the robust data display tools can be used? I have had fun up to now, but really don't want to reinvent the wheel when it comes to data display. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9p-EklsKpuM/WX0CugJz2aI/AAAAAAAAPRk/Q_WgyNoFyN4Y2p_bV9ngzqn3tq0J8ncTACLcBGAs/s1600/Screenshot%2Bfrom%2B2017-07-29%2B15-48-02.png> I'm not looking for anyone to hold my hand, just to maybe explain how WeeWx gets its data so maybe I can mimic that and thus "present" my data to WeeWx as if it were coming from an already developed weather station platform. Thanks to anyone responding to this. Sean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
