Updating the answer to the question which made me start this post: Is WeatherDuino WeeWX compatible?
The answer is YES. WeatherDuino is WeeWX compatible. I have it running successfully right now.
Things we found in the process:
-> In ebay you may find for sale Real Times Clock modules which do not seem to comply with default values expected by Arduino libraries and once plugged show an address which is slightly different.
The problematic ones seem to differ in that they do not exhibit the inscription "ZS-042". So, try to make sure the RTC module you purchase has "ZS-042" inscribed.
Werk_AG found a way to get around this and make the software work with modules with an 0x56 address but better try to avoid it. These chips are likely fake and a source of trouble.
-> FTDI usbserial chips/adapters have better support in Linux. The driver seems to be more robust. To play on the safe side if you are planning to connect your RX unit to a Linux box try to get at least one Nano with an original FTDI chip (they cost just a bit more).
