The wxnow script is actually in the distribution now in the scripts directory (wxnowsrv.pl). It masquerades as a networked weather station (like Davis or LaCrosse do), but reads the wxnow.txt file at fixed intervals. To run it, you provide the path to the file and the period with which it should be checked for changes. You can give it an optional port number to listen on, or it'll pick 5500 by default. /usr/local/share/xastir/scripts/wxnowsrv.pl /path/to/wxnow.txt 60 will check the file every minute for changes. Then you just add a networked WX interface to Xastir, and point it at this server port. Doesn't have to be running on the same machine as Xastir, even. > Joe VA3JLF > > > Sent from Mail for Windows 10 > > From: Curt Mills > Sent: November 26, 2019 9:54 AM > To: Xastir - APRS client software discussion > Subject: Re: [Xastir] Ambient Weather Station > > Does it use its own protocol?
