Exporting live data

[Oskar Stenberg]

Hello,

We have a large diode screen showing live wind data in my boat club, and this equipment is now nearing 30 years of age, and we are looking to replace it.

Therefore, I turn this question to the skilled readers of this user group. 

Is there any way to connect WeeWx to a LED diode screen (or any other screen suitable for outdoors mounting), and on that view the live wind speed average and max? 

Many thanks in advance for your replies!

There are many way to do this. The best way? Depends on your exact use case and equipment.

In general, you have to find a way to transport the desired data from the device weewx is running, to the display.

Basically, what you will have to do is to configure a report for the max wind speed and the average, output is simple text. On top of that you will, you will listen to windSpeed/windGust/windDir in the loop and display these values on the display.

Still, there are 1001 way to achieve this.
