Cumulus Support

Hello everybody,

I have just bought a weather station from "Pearl" which must be a '1080' or '1081'.

I can see its information under Windows 10 with the 'EasyWeather' or 'Cumulus' software.

I would like to be able to see this information under Linux (Ubuntu).

A few years ago, I wrote a program in Object Pascal using Lazarus for a "La Crosse Technologie WS23xx" station. To do this, I used the exchange protocol between this station and a PC.

I'd like to do the same with my new station. The problem is that I don't know this station's exchange protocol at all.

I've found a source file https://github.com/jim-easterbrook/pywws that could give me this information, but unfortunately for me, it's written in 'Python'; a language I know absolutely nothing about.

What I'd like to know is:

• Exchanges with the PC are made via a USB connection, but I don't think this is a protocol equivalent to a serial line (COM X) is this the case, Yes, No?

• What information is exchanged to initialize the dialog? Does the station cyclically send its data without the PC program requesting it, or does the PC have to request this information? If so, what is this information? Is it a Vendor ID, a code, ...?

Thank you in advance for this information.

Best regards.

Pierre.

Why don't you just install CumululsMX on your Ubuntu computer plus Mono and run it as Program on the linux machine via USB?

It could be a solution, but it's for the pleasure of programming and to make an interface that corresponds specifically to my needs.

Best regards.

If programming is your thing then you could always look in the CumulusMX source code to see how it's done: https://github.com/cumulusmx

Thank you very much for all this code.

However, would it be possible to have a list of the files just needed to establish communication with the station, in order to extract a representative string of data?

Sincerely.

Pierre.
