After many years of quietly running data to the world, my faithful but prehistoric Watson W-8681 has finally detached itself from its various appendages, and is steadfastly refusing all attempts at electronic mediation.
Given that it's had as many spare parts as Triggers Broom, I feel it is now time to move into the 21st Century.
I've been looking at the Ecowitts and the HP2561 looks quite pleasing to the eye, and a scan of the manual suggests it will behave with a custom setup to CMX.
Firstly, could anyone please confirm the ability of the HP2561.
Secondly, I have a couple of Pi's kicking about, but I've been so far away from weather stations for years that I'm unsure which Pi would be most suited. I think mine are an A and a B.... so quite old in human terms too ... but Cumulus is currently running on a whole PC, so I have a little curve to navigate in fairly short order I think.
The Unread(13428) is hinting that I do a little more reading here, but I'd really appreciate a short shopping list, after which I can settle into Autumn with plenty top read and configure once the hardware has been bolted up while it is nice enough to do so!
Many thanks for all hints, tips, advice, answers and belittlement!
