WeatherWare

Software for the Oregon Scientific WMR968 wireless weather station. This software will connect to your weather station provided it is connected to your computer with an RS-232 serial cable. The station doesn't come with a cable but any computer store sells them.

You need Microsoft's .NET framework for it to run. Get it from Microsoft Update before running WeatherWare

Then download WeatherWare. To install simply extract the ZIP file into a directory of your liking and double click the executable to run the application.

This first version will decode the weather station data and convert it into XML. It can output the data to any file of your choice. It also features a small status icon in the notification area displaying the weather forecast. XML is a powerful yet simple format created to be readable by both man and machine. You can manipulate the data in many ways. A common way to format data for web pages is to use XSLT which is a language used to define transformation of XML data. To read a brief tutorial on XSLT and how to use it check out W3Schools. For an example XSLT file you can download the one that displays current weather conditions on my homepage here. This file is used by my web server to transform the output of WeatherWare. Click here for the latest XML file fresh off the press from my own WMR968.

On my to-do list for future versions are things like:

	Minimum and maximum data recording and XML output of it
	Today's rainfall (oddly the station only has yesterdays rainfall)
	Temperature display in the notification area
	Display of current data in the windows application, similar to what is displayed on the station itself
	Logging of historical data for trend graphs etc.

If you like any of these features to be implemented, or have any other suggestions please do not hesitate to email me at weatherware@antabus.dk. Any donations of any size are appreciated and will greatly help the development. Also please contact me if you encounter any bugs or unexpected behavior.
