HI Everyone,

I am a new user of Weewx and have a driver question regarding a weather station called the WS3 from AliExpress. I have loaded the Weewx software onto a RaspberryPi running Raspian, as runs well. However, the hardware driver for my Weather Station, linked above, is not present and I am not familiar with the other hardware that may be compatible. It attaches to my Putty terminal at 9600 using a USB-TTL adapter and has the data string output in this format; 

A4095B000C0000D0000E0000F0000G0000H0000I0000J0000K0000L0281M576N10024 * 27

Output 74 bytes every 0.5 seconds, including line feed at the end of data (OD,OA)

Does anyone recommend a driver to try in the standard download or do I need to mod an existing driver?

Any help welcome

Regards, Chris

Good afternoon! I also have the same problem! I use an Orangepi with WS1 from ADS and everything was fine! However, WS1 had a problem and I bought WS3 through Allexpress. Its output is TTL. I also bought a TT/USB adapter. Access the data through the Terminal usually at 2400. However, Weewx, can't find the driver for this WS3 weather station module! That's why my station is stopped! I would like someone to help us in this regard. Grateful!
