One of the great WeatherDuino features is to have correct time available on all WeatherDisplay units. When RX+ board is connected to computer and Cumulus 1, it RX+ board time is kept updated and all display units get this valid time.
What are your plans for getting correct time with CumulusMX and Raspberry Pi? Rpi itself will drift and some kind of synch is required. Don't have working CumulusMX environment yet, still planning...
WeatherDuino Pro2 will work with Cumulus MX exactly as it does with Cumulus 1.
To keep the correct time on the Raspberry PI, you just have to make sure it syncs the time with a NTP time server, from time to time (I think PI already do it, but I'm not sure about the sync interval).
Ok, thanks, that makes life easier. I was not aware about MX sync, or that it can sync time as Cumulus 1.
