Hello,
My 6540 VP2 console logger is bad and I understand that they are no longer making them. I’d rather try something better.

My present weewx runs on an rpi with a RS232 to USB dongle from the 6540 on the console. I don’t need APRS connectivity, just something to get the VP2 data to weewx.

Could anyone suggest something to solve my problem? There must be plenty of things out there but I’m not familiar with them.

Thanks in advance.

Bob

The WeatherLinkIP (https://www.davisinstruments.com/product/weatherlinkip-for-vantage-stations/) Ethernet data logger is discontinued.

The USB and serial data loggers are still being sold:

The USB data logger will run fine with your Raspberry Pi.

Thanks, John, that’s just what I needed to know.  Scaled Instruments has a very good price on these.
