I need help with Beaglebone black as a server to a WS 2080
I just got a beaglebone black and would like to use it with Cumulus and my WS 2080 any comments would be welcome

Could you clarify what it is that you want to use the Beaglebone for? Cumulus won't run on it.

I have a WS 2080 weather station, I am currently using with Cumulus and a windows 7 PC,
I would like to see if there is a way to use the Beaglebone black (see Beaglebone.org ) ,Beaglebone black is a very small PC that has a server built in. it uses the Linux OS
my reasons are... BB B is small,low Power (5 VDC .5 amps) so I could set it up with a Battery and solar.
I hope this answers your question I am new at this forum stuff, but have been around Computers and electronics for many years.and retired so I have a lot of time .
thanks DHB

I think I've got a BB black somewhere. But Cumulus only runs on Windows. It's possible that there might be a Linux version one day, and it might run on a BB black.

I hope so , I'm going to try to get something started on the BB site.
but I thought Id start here incase it was already created

Rather than write your own software from scratch, you might want to first take a look at pywws, written by Jim Easterbrook - http://jim-easterbrook.github.io/pywws/ ... index.html

It runs on Linux on low-power devices, so may well work on a BB black.
