Sharing Data Logger Data

I have my Vantage Vue console wired to a Raspberry Pi via a USB/Serial data logger. The Pi is running MX which wirelessly feeds my website, Weather Underground ect and life is good, it just works. Now I have another PI I would like to use to experiment with other software such as WeeWX. How would I go about directing the data from my Vue console to also feed my second PI without disrupting the original MX/Pi set up?
I think Meteohub will do this but not interested in spending the $70 at this point.

Any suggestions??

Hi,
Not sure why you would want more than Cumulus :clap: :o but as the Davis console/logger only allows one program to access it at the same time Virtual VP was developed

It is no longer developed and I don't know if it will work with Pi.
Davis' solution is the Weatherlink Live which allows numerous connections to the ISS data, but that is even more dollars.

Enjoy,
Paul

Ahh yes, I seem to remember Virtual VP when I tried to do this a few years back. Thanks for tip and links. And the reason I want/need more then MX is because it works so good I don't have a need to mess with it, soooo I need to find something else I can break then have something to fix!

I like the idea of figuring this out in Linux on the Pi though, I want to keep my main PC out of the loop with my Weather reporting set up. maybe something like tty0tty?? Hummm..
