Re: Watson W-8681 - first month

Did you make any further progress with stripping the data out of the .dat file to enable it to be fed into APRS?
Yes I produced a REXX script which I use in conjunction with a program called KEDIT to grab the last line of the dat file and reformat it for UIVIEW. I haven't published it because so far as I know KEDIT is no longer available and parts of the script use KEDIT editing functions. The php script extract I've shown on.. G6KIZ Watson W-8681 W8681 Wireless Weather Station reformats what is essentially the .dat file data into html.

I had to install Python scripting so I could write a noddy channel switching script for wxtoimg to control my R2ZX because the program managed to confuse the simple radio interface causing satellite passes to be missed so may one day convert my EasyWeather to UIVIEW script to Python and then I'll publish it. I don't really want to encourage people to buy this unit though as my personal view is that it is so poor it would be better to pay extra for a decent weather station.
