Before jumping in: is a LED display addon possible?

Welcome to the forum and thank your for your interest in the WeatherDuino system.

I can't say that your goal is possible, however I also don't see that it can't be done, once you know the requerid serial protocol to feed the 'Weather Picture' and are able to program.

Maybe you don't need several receivers, but just one! The WeatherDuino receivers are able to broadcast the received data by WiFi, so maybe you just need to hack the code of the WeatherDuino Wireless Display units, to output the required serial data through the USB port. I don't know, I'm just thinking... if it works your  'Weather Picture' will become an wireless 'Weather Picture'

Thank you very much for your reply...  I would certainly like to try this...  Me, my wife and visitors always look at the weather picture display, so it would be 'hard' to do without it. Wink  

It was fun to write code to read  the serial data of the Ultimeter so now I can try to do the same with the WIFI data as you suggested. I will order the system via a PM! 

I'm undicided which wind sensor to use, the Peet Bros unit is very sensitive and only 115 euro's. (Davis 6410  is 175 euro's)   But the Peet Bros unit has reed sensors (no hall) and a very clever way to read the wind dir and speed but WeatherDuino need a output of 0-5V so maybe I will make an Arduino conversion board or try the new Davis 6410.

Anyhow, the WeatherDuino system is amazing so consider me hooked!
