Uploading Weather Station Info (help please)

Hello All,

Forgive the "newbie" question....but your help is appreciated.

Making a long story short, our school has hooked up a weather station donated to us by a local university. Everything is running very smoothly (It is an Oregon Scientific WMR 968).  The software that came with the program is VWS.

My problem is that it is the "base" software and now cannot upload any information (et al, we'd like to post it on our school website, but the webserver for our site is not at our location).

As much as I'd like to use VWS, our school will not be able to buy this software in the near future. Can anyone recommend a free program (if there even is one) that can be downloaded where I can upload the data to something like Weather Underground?

Thank you in advance for all of your help.

Sorry, but I'm not aware of any freebies that will do a good job for you.  I read in your post on Ambient that you have the Base Edition.  Couldn't you somehow get the $79 to upgrade to the internet Edition?  Maybe ask a local merchant to sponsor the site in exchange for a banner on the main page?

I don't know of any free SW for the OS that does WU uploads. For the money, Weather Display would be my choice ($70 last time I looked). Brian provides what can only be described as astounding tech support. WD can be a bit of a challenge to get setup but the forum at http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index.php is an excellent source for working your way through it.

Of course based on your comments this may not be a viable solution for your situation either. I don't know of a "free" solution for the OS but admittedly, my knowledge of the OS and what's available is limited.

Thank you both for getting back to me.

I appreciate your help.

Eventually I think I can get the money's together to make the purchase. As you can imagine, I've been spending time getting it together and am anxious to get it on the net, now having to wait a bit.

Just have to play a waiting game a bit (BTW...good idea about the local merchant...I don't know the school policy, but worth a route to try).

braun,

As Rick and anole have said, I do not know of any free software that will do that.

I have heard of a free software for the OS weather stations that you can take a look at here.
