Wireless data logger to PC link

[belfryboy]

As an addition to the Davis clone logger I have tested a wireless link between my console and PC with great results. I shall be doing some range tests this weeks, but so far I have a through wall communication of around 40 metres.

The wireless units are powered from the console and at the PC via the USB cable. Is this an addition that people would find useful? (It adds about £30 to the cost of the logger) I found that it was good to place my console in a position where it received good signal from the ISS, and then have the flexibilty of siting my PC without being tied to the Datalogger by cables.

Any thoughts welcome.

sounds like a good idea to me
now if you could just invent wireless for the power supply!

YES YES YES> but does it have to be built in or can it be added on? so for someone like me who has already ordered I can buy it as an add on.

Belfryboy, 

I'm interested in hearing more...  I tried to build something using USB wireless, but it didn't pan out (as I don't have XP).  I'd appreciate any information you can send my way.  PM me if you'd like.  Thank you.

I might be interested in this, but also as an add on rather than built into the data logger.

At the moment My consul is right next to my laptop, but this might possibly change in the future.

At the moment it is an either or situation (either direct USB connection or wireless via USB) I am exploring different ways of doing this, but I should be able to do an add on for serial users. It will need a little experimentation, but I should know in a couple of days.
