The weewx vantage driver uses the Python "serial" library, which, in turn, expects a Unix file descriptor (such as /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyS0). If your serial connector provides that, there should be no problem.
However, if it provides an IP address and port, then... I'm not so sure. The Vantage driver can connect to a WLIP logger through an ethernet address/port, so that might work. You'll have to experiment. -tk On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 2:11 PM, Chris Alemany <chris...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Vince, > > Thanks for the reply. > > WView allows one to get the data from a Vantage Pro 2 console with a > serial connector by having that serial connector plugged into a serial > server that plugs into a local network on ethernet. > > The advantage being the Vantage station and the host wview (or weewx) > computer need not be physically connected to the VP2 box. > > Cheers, > Chris > > > > On Nov 17, 2017, at 2:02 PM, vince <vinceska...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Friday, November 17, 2017 at 8:23:03 AM UTC-8, Chris Alemany wrote: >> >> >> I am thinking of finally making the switch from wview to weewx but one >> fundamental difference that seems to remain is support for a serial server >> connection. >> I am using the GW21E Serial Server to take the serial output from my >> wireless VP2 Plus. >> >> >> > Not understanding the question..... > > What are you trying to wire up exactly how ? > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the > Google Groups "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit https://groups.google.com/d/ > topic/weewx-user/DJoHbGpcLEI/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > weewx-user+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to weewx-user+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
