Hello,
does anyone know how to program the Raspberry Pico to display sensor data in weewx ?
That you can build a weather station with the help of several Raspberry Picos.
(Each Pico should result in a sensor).
The Pico is better suited as a sensor than Raspberry Zeros.
Power consumption should not be so high with wlan.

In the video, someone has already programmed the output of sensor data via wifi.
Now one would have to get these data only after Weewx into the data base.

My goal is to replace my WMR 200 station with 3D printing and Raspberrys.

This doesn't answer your question directly but it is something that might interest you. I just saw it a few days ago. It is an announcement of a 'not yet available' weather station kit from Pimoroni for the Pico W:
Since this kit isn't yet available and the Pico W is still almost unobtainable (my usual sources seemed to go directly from "coming soon" to "sold out"), you will have lots of time to think about your project!

You might consider using mqtt on the Pico to interface to weewx. The Pico w is a little hard to get so an airlift board addon might be an option. It should be possible to interface more than 1 sensor per Pico.
As far as power consumption goes, I think your looking at 250 ma per transmission. I'm not sure about the power savings you would get with this setup.
