[Paolo Benvenuto]

Hi guys!

If I buy a Davis Vantage Vue (sensors + console), how do I connect to a normal linux pc? usb cable? ethernet cable?

thank you!

The Vantage Vue does not come with a connector. You must buy that separately. 

They offer three types: serial, USB, and ethernet. All are ridiculously overpriced for what you get. The USB connector is the easiest to connect, and recent versions have proven to be very reliable. You want part number 6510USB. It comes with their WeatherLink software for Windows, which you will not need if you use weewx.

There is also a less-expensive 3rd party vendor. Belfryboy.

I am not understanding your question. What is "it?"

If you are uncomfortable using English, try asking your question in your native language. We will figure it out.

I meant: using linux, do I need something else in addition to the USB connector?

[Andrew Milner]

the usb connector includes a logger unit and the only other hardware you will need is a spare usb port on the computer!!

the weewx documentation tells you what additional Linux/unix/... software you may require.

Will this work for getting your data?
