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!

Re: Raspberry Pi3 B+, Instromet and CuMX
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.
