Bypassing PC to connect PCE-FWS-20 directly to internet

Post by digbym »

Sorry, I'm sure this has already been asked somewhere but I couldn't find it.

I have a PCE-FWS-20 and have connected it to Wunderground, but I have to leave my PC on all the time.

Is there anything I can buy that would upload the data from the PCE-FWS-20 onto the internet (WiFi I assume) without the need to leave my PC on all the time?

But that doesn't solve his problem of uploading without running his PC 24/7.

As far as I am aware unless you buy one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maplin-Professi ... B00QS4IBNU your current station requires a program on a PC to read the output from the console, interpret it and send the results to Wunderground.

best option for this is probably using a Raspberry Pi.

Once the setup is running you could disconnect all the attached hardware (screen, kboard, etc) and just have the processor attached to your router.

Running costs on 9/12 V supply would be minimal with few security/safety issues.
