NMEA Support - Raspberry PI

[Adam Lewis]

I've searched the User Guide and the User support forum and cant find an answer, i've also looked at developments and cant find anything.

I live on my boat and have a full set of navigation instruments, which include:

Air temp

Sea Temp

Wind Direction

Wind Speed

Plus a whole load of navigation data.

What i'd like to do is to be able to feed the data I have into weewx, the data is in standard NMEA format via RS232 (9600 baud), so it should be fairly simple to integrate. Only thing is my coding skills are definitely not up to it. I was wondering if anyone else out there is working on it or would like to develop it?

Take a look at this driver for the Airmar 150WX, which uses NMEA. It's a bit of a hack, but it might get you started.

Trying to run the airmar.py driver. Can't find weewx.driver, where can I find it? Have I miss something in my Raspberry Py setup?

1. It's weewx.drivers, not weewx.driver.

2. You did not provide any context on the error. Assuming you meant to type weewx.drivers, the problem is likely to be a PYTHONPATH problem.

Are there any documentation how to change the station/driver to the Airmar driver, I am running the Simulator for the moment.

(I think I have solved my problem with the weewx.drivers)

Normally, this is done with the tool wee_config with the --reconfigure option.
