Raspberry-pi, CumulusMX, RTLSDR-dongle, sniffing Fineoffset transmitter
Posted: Wed 09 Nov 2016 10:46 pm
Dear readers,
At the moment i am searching for a solution for my Fineoffset weather station WH3080, this because of the returning USB-lockup in 2 sets WH3080 connected to raspberry-pi using USB-connection.
The 2 sets WH3080 are in use on different locations in the same city.
Maybe somebody can tell me and help me with the next questions, and give instructions to find and correct the several scripts. Of course I have searched the internet for this solution but could not find.
The solution to reset the Base-set WH3080 using a switch/hub and additional script is not ideal because of wrong pressure data after reset.
Is it possible to use a raspberry-pi and install and configurate for;
1) Install CumulusMX software and use data coming from RTLSDR dongle?
2) Using RTLSDR dongle and software for sniffering the WH3080 transmitter data?
3) Because of the missing data for pressure- and inside-temp, add a temp/pressure sensor on the Raspberry-pi.
4) Wich problems do i not recognise in these configuration?
There must be many people using Raspberry-pi in combination with WH3080 or other Fineoffsets, think several of them also suffering for the USB lockup issue.
The reason to do so;
The Raspberry-pi no longer need USB connection with WH3080
The RTLSDR dongle (R820T2 price €10,00 up to 25,95) and temp/pressure sensor (BMP180 € 10,95) not that expensive.
The raspberry-pi can be used as stand alone unit, using wifi or network cable to connect to router
The WH3080 Fineoffset transmitter and receiver are still working as normal set.
Like to read your response,
Kind regards, Wim
