Hey WeeWX users!

I'm a scientist working on a tight budget, and our team needs multiple weather stations for deployment in the middle of wetlands, where communication isn't an option. These stations will be left in place for about two weeks at a time before being moved to different locations. 

I have some experience with microcomputers and coding, having developed an irrigation system using Arduino for previous science projects. I've also dabbled with RPi, although I found it extremely challenging back in 2017.

What I'm specifically looking for is logging data. I don't need any of the other functions that WeeWX would provide. If anyone has already developed or provided tutorials specifically for logging purposes, I'd greatly appreciate some guidance. 

Additionally, any advice or recommendations for other pre-made stations around $400 that are capable of logging would be fantastic.

Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!

What do you mean by "logging"? WeeWX, as it is shipped, stores the readings to a database. You can then take that database and do what you have to do with it. If you use the default settings, that database is a SQLITE file, which can be read and processed by a lot of other software.
