I am trying to setup a Raspberry Pi 4 with the Bookworm OS using the software “Weather Display for Linux console 64 bit Raspberry pi 4 with 64 bit Operating System Version” dated 28 January 2025” , interfacing with a Rainwise IP-100.
I had some initial problems during installation, but they were solved after reading a conversation between Windy2 and tlambert on weather-watch.com in January of 2021. Now when I run ./consolewd from a shell, I see the output to stdout that has all the current IP-100 readings every 4 seconds. That is as far as I have gone.
Based on what I have seen so far, I am now questioning if this software will ever be able to be configured to do what I was hoping to do. Basically I wanted to set up a Raspberry Pi to do two things.
-
Log the current readings from the IP-100 once a minute to a file.
-
Be able to connect to a web page on the Pi from another device that has a display of all the IP-100 current readings that is updated (ideally) every two seconds. A display similar to the Weather Display image on their home page would be nice, but I do not have to be greedy. Only a display of the current IP-100 readings is really needed.
If this is possible, I do not mind continuing to try to locate instructions on how to do this, but if is not, I do not want to keep hitting my head against the wall. The fact that I have not found anything so far has resulted in this post.
If the answer is, you will never be able to do this with cossolwd on a Pi, perhaps you have a suggestion on what software I should be looking at.
Thanks.
