You will either have to emulate a station which works with Cumulus, or generate an easyweather.dat file - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/EasyWeather_Format

If you want to connect Cumulus to your weather station to read data directly from it, you will have to emulate a weather station that Cumulus works with.

As Steve said, you need to emulate a protocol or write an easyweather.dat formatted file.
Werk_AG managed to do both options with the WeatherDuino. He might not mind if you look at this code, but it would be polite to ask him first ;)

It looks like you are trying to generate an easyweather.dat file. I don't propose to look at your code to see if you are doing it correctly, but assuming you are, then you can just configure Cumulus to read that file by choosing the correct station type ("Easyweather.dat") and telling Cumulus where your file is. Have you done that, and is it working?
