My brother wanted a weather station so he went to Costco and got an
Acurite 5-in-1 with the wireless remote display unit. We tested the rain guage, put the
outdoor unit on a 20' pole on the back porch and got it running. We now had all
the weather info right there in the house. You can hook the display unit to a computer with
a USB cable and with the included software send your data to Weatherunderground.
Only problem was the unit was in the kitchen and my computers are else where. So I bought
another remote display and put it in the shack. Hooked it up and started sending the weather
reports to Weatherunderground. Pretty neat stuff but I wanted more.

I got in touch with a ham south of me who has had his wx station on line for some years
and he gave me a lot of info. When he told me about using a Raspberry Pi running
WeeWx software I went for it. I bought another Pi and got the software setup.
WeeWx software for the Raspberry Pi
I had already registered with Weatherunderground so while editing the configuration
file and making sure everything was running I also registered with
The Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP)

Soon our station was showing on Weatherunderground and
APRS. Click "show map" to see our location

This site has all the info and graphs from the station.

These are the basics on what you need to get your weather station reporting to the world.
A fair amount of setting up is required and I'll be happy to provide any other information
you may need......
