After a few months of hard work, I'm proud to announce the immediate availability of the v2.0 software package for the WeatherDuino Pro2 system!
First news: The AuriolDuino system was merged into the WeatherDuino Pro2 project. This means that from now on, the WeatherDuino Pro2 receiver unit also can be used with all the Weather Stations* previously supported by the AuriolDuino system.
For the current and new WeatherDuino Pro2 users, there are novelties too:
- Added support (experimental yet) for Soil Moisture**, Leaf Wetness** and Soil / Leaf temperature sensors**, using a dedicated Soil / Leaf interface (expected to be available in May 2016).
- New user programmable general purpose output function, which can be used to turn on or off a relay.
- Added a three digits diagnostic code in the LCD startup screen.
- Added a user configurable option to enable / disable Wind Gust Spike prevention routine (mostly for FO anemometers)
- New software for the TX units. Added support for the Soil / Leaf interface
- Wireless Display units have a new screen design, showing more info, driven by touch or by the push button.
- Better comments in all software.
- Improved code (each day I learn a bit).
And of course, compatible with all existing hardware***.
Thank you to those that have helped testing the beta versions, and a special thank you to JT118, without his help and support possibly the the Soil / Leaf interface would not exist.
* Auriol H13726, Ventus W155, Hama EWS 1500 / Meteoscan w155 w160 / Alecto WS-3500 / Balance RF-WS100
** Supported Soil Moisture sensor: Vegetronix VH400
** Supported Leaf Wetness sensor: Decagon Leaf Wetness Sensor.
** Supported Soil / Leaf temperature sensors - Up to four Dallas 1-wire temperature sensors.
*** Soil / Leaf interface may work only with TX v3.xx boards
