Thermor/BIOS 9xx Weather Station Server / News: Recent posts

Woot! put the BW976 station on sale at the end of April. This project is getting a bit more traffic, and as a result, I have a few bug fixes coming in that I've merged into the trunk. I also gotten curious enough about Wview5 to create patch for it too. You can find it in the downloads section.

Please remember this project is for the development and maintenance of the Weather Station Server (ws9xxd) and not for the support of clients and patches for clients, including Wview. My patch for Wview is unsupported and is used to illustrate the use of clients for ws9xxd. I release the patches for Wview because I am a user of Wview and wish to share my modifications for others to build on.... read more

If you aren't using ws9xxd in conjunction with our patch for wview, you're

for wview can be found as another download in this SourceForge project.
The great thing is, because ws9xxd is a weather station server, you can

Changes for 0.0.3

* Improvements to playing back of recorded weather data (--play-data-file)
which is used for testing.
* Improvements to the help text (--help)
* Added support for monitoring an unknown data type. If anyone has
any suggestions of what it may be, please let me know. This may be
the wireless signal strength. Example unknown data is:
2008-09-25,10:57:54,01/03/06,17:03:00,,Unknown,1,?
* Better command line options for controlling the output of ws9xxd.
* Prevent example programs from being installed when "make install" is
used.
* Bug fixes for improving the success rate of ws9xxd in telling the
weather station to start sending data.
* Bug fixes for the user level calls to the kernel that write data
to the weather station.
* Bug fixes and improvements to adjusting the inside/outside temperature
and the pressure.
* Two output options. A human readable format that is no longer the
default, and a comma seperated value format that has been made
the default.
* Port code to a big endian machine. This is especially to get
the code running on an NSLU2.
* Added a dists directory to contain examples of how to integrate ws9xxd
with different distributions.
* Move writing to the weather station device improvements from ws9xxd
to examples/example.c
