I have a Sheevaplug that I’ve been fooling around with. Right now it has “Linux ubuntu 2.6.32.4 #1 PREEMPT Mon Jan 18 15:56:12 MST 2010 armv5tel GNU/Linux” installed.
I did see where there was a console version developed for the ARM processor - I download that, but it didn’t work. Was having the same problems as this post: http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/34455
Anyway, this could be a great little low wattage interface to weather underground for my WMR100.
Does anyone have wdconsole working on the Sheevaplug?
I was hoping to look at the Sheevaplug as a solution. I guess I will look at writing some Java code to see I can interface to the Davis VP 2 with the arm-el, not sure if there is a release of Java for that yet. I have some baseline code working with Linux and Windows but if can get a Java working for Sheevaplug that would be cool.
If you’re trying to interface your Sheevaplug with a VP2 - have you looked at wview http://www.wviewweather.com/ ??
They don’t list my WMR100 as supported hardware - so I was thinking of acquiring some hardware that they support - I need only a console and an outside temp / humidity sensor - so a VP2 might be overkill.
Anyway, just wondered if you had looked at the wview application and what were your thoughts?
(Hope I’m not posting something I shouldn’t, but we’ve established the Sheevaplug doesn’t work with wconsole.)
