I recently picked up a raspberry pi3 and installed consolewd on it. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get consolewd to work with the ObserverIP of my weather station. It currently works with Weather Display on my Win7 box but would like to offload that job to the raspberry pi3.
I should be able to get consolewd to work directly with the WiFi pro…I will work on that today
but that is another option…using the IP connection to meteobridge…( to test that, I would need access to your meteobridge, i.e port forwarded? (PM me that info)
set the IP address as the pc local address
(eg the IP address that shows when the easy weather IP software starts up (but dont have that program running)
and let me know what shows up after clicking on connect
If I type the IP of my computer in the “Local IP” space then it locks up and gives a windows message that it has stopped responding after about 3 seconds or so. I tested it on my Win7_64 and on my old WinXP_Pro box and it does the same thing on both PC’s.
If I put the IP of the ObserverIP it doesn’t lock up and I can select the text that populates the screen. Here’s that text.
yes connection 2 ->->1080 Dan-Win7
10038
Socket operation on nonsocket

Received IP data 0
all those zeros are good…that means no errors
it listening for a response back…and waiting (its not actually locked up as such)
make sure the easy weather wifi version works
(as you may have to update the firmware on your station if that does not)
after setting to use correct local IP (e.g the one where you got zeros)
then click on connect
(for me I then had to allow it past the windows firewall)
and then click on send broadcast
it then should show there is a connection
then click on request data
and then click on read data a few seconds after that
the raw data should then be displayed
next step is to actually get that same routine working on the raspberry pi (in consolewd) .hopefully will work…its the same compiler
will see if it compiles…thats the first step
Ah
That version of the station hardware will not work
Via the WiFi connection
We will have to work via the meteobridge data
But at least I am making good progress in supporting the WiFi pro station for consolewd
