It would be nice to have the ability to tell xastir which sensors to
report and which to ignore. Peet's data structure naturally doesn't
change it's format when the sensors are unplugged, it just reports no
data for them.
Having spent a fair bit of time w/ Davis yesterday getting them to
update their windows s/w for APRS-WX/CWOP... if I can find Peet at the
American Meteorological Society meeting, I've some requests for them,
too! And you just raised a key one. We should have a standard value for
*Missing Data* such as, -99999 (which is, in fact, one such well
recognized value in the meteorological community).
The difference between 0 and 'no data' is significant but xastir
doesn't recognize it.
Nor do a lot of other consumer-grade, or APRS-WX, programs. It's more
an oversight, I think, than a mistake. However, thanks for pointing it out.

I'm running a Peet Ultimeter 500, which seems to output the same data

some fields, since it's reporting that it never rains here, rather than
simply not reporting rain as it should. And I don't have a baro sensor,
but it's reporting some strange bogus values...
Talk to us some more about this. I don't know much about the Peet
series. We could do something about the above problem.
I haven't found anything in the code that treats a 'networked' weather
station any differently than a serial-connected one, so I'm guessing
that the 'networked' wx station is simply a serial wx station plugged into
a 'serial server' or a 'terminal server', so that if you were to telnet to
the server port, you'd see the same data stream as if you ran minicom on
the serial-connected wx station.
Nope. Unfortunately. In this case it connects to the One Wire
Weather daemon or the wx200d daemon only.
