Love to tinker 
Not to the point of designing boards, etc. but tinkering is not a problem. The objective would be to be able to display water level along with rest of my weather data and then save it to mySQL or similar so that I could do a year by year comparison down the road. It wouldn’t have to tie in with the Davis setup as I can bring it together on the website. I run my own site/server and once weather is up will be making it an ‘official’ lake site, but still a hobby for me
I.e. something I could ‘collect’ via serial port or? All I would need is raw data as I can do a prog to ‘interpret’, send it to the web, etc.
