Hi Greg, I do have the WeatherEar in hand. I can run it on what ever platform is necessary--I think you mentioned Linux is where you have it running, correct? I might be able to help with the code if that is to be available as well. Tim -----Original Message----- From: mis...@li...

I still plan on making it available but as yours was the only response, it didn't get very high on my priority list. I need to make another pass through the code and make some cleanups. You need the hardware to make use of it. Do you have the weatherear already? What platform are you planning to run it on?
