Raspberry Pi3 B+, Instromet and CuMX

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Raspberry Pi3 B+, Instromet and CuMX

Post by Chapel »

I have been running Win10 with Cumulus MX and an Instromet Datalogger for the last 6 months or so and it runs well when the Win 10 box (An oldish Dell Laptop) is not falling over... So I have ordered a Raspberry Pi3 B+ and plan on installing Cumulus MX which all seems fairly straight forward, however I need to hook up to the data from my Instromet datalogger which is via a serial port. One of the issues with my Win 10 box was lack of serial port so I used a serial to USB converter and FTDI drivers. My question is are people running such systems using drivers and a USB adapter on the RPi or have they hooked up the datalogger feed directly to the RPi?

Apologies if this has been asked already!

I have a serial attached Davis, and use a USB/Serial adaptor with my Pi. The popular chip-set drivers are already installed in the Linux distro's.
