I will look at the data output from the micro and see what it is like. There are plenty of RF modules around that will take straight rail to rail data input. Some not so good as other of course. I used to have some from some work stuff I did too many years ago to remember now but will chase up some more modern stuff. The main thing is the baud rate. I dont think it will be very fast and thats a good thing to keep the module cost down.
I have only just briefly looked at Lora and it seems really great but not sure if it requires the data presented to it to be in any special format. The biggest issue of course is the low power thats legal to use and of course the frequency allowed for different countries.
The weather shield the Davis uses work great but the FO one is really crap. I know one of the guys here locally bought a alu one as I found it reading some posts but I thought it was a bit expensive. There must be some cheaper ones around but I have not looked very much for one yet.
