Hi all,
I have just spent the last few days reverse engineering the wireless protocol from a Jaycar XC0348 wireless weather station (made by Fine Offset i believe). While there is plenty of information out there on the USB/Serial protocol i could not find anyone who has determined the wireless protocol for this type of weather station (there has been some work on the Oregon Scientific stations). At this stage i have a basic 433Mhz receiver module connected to a microcontroller and i can decode temperature, humidity, wind speed, direction, and have identified the rainfall byte but still making sense of its value.
What i am wondering is if this is of interest to this community? What i essentially aim to do is have a simple dongle that can plug into a computer and log the weather station information directly from the transmitter without having to be connected to the base station. Or even have something that plugs into a router so you can access the weather information from a laptop/ipad etc. Once my software is a little more mature i intend on open sourcing it for all to access and may build a small number of dongles if anyone is interested?
Cheers,
Leon
