QUESTION ABOUT .CVS FILE AND WEATHER DISPLAY
VE2BYW:
Hi
Near where i live, there is a University with a Weather station.
They accept to send me every 10 minutes a .cvs file with realtime data.
My question is: can this file be use by Weather Display software because i do not have a weather station.
Thank for the reply and sorry for ma very bad English.

Do you mean a .CVS file or is that a .CSV file?
VE2BYW:
Hi
I mean a .cvs file contain all the variable data like Temp, humidity, wind speed, wind direction etc etc

The question was is it a Comma Separated Values File (CSV) or as you have shown a CVS file which is completely different and I suspect cannot be imported into Weather Display.

Boy, that would be nice to have WD look at a file that gets refreshed every period of time and accept that as data!
The closest thing I've run into is the Peet Brothers 2100 which has three types of output and just one works with WD.
I can't recall how long ago it was that I set one up but it works for reading the stream, not file, from the serial port from the Peet. Not exactly what you want, but maybe there is some relatively 'light' programming that would look at the tile you were sent, parse it into an acceptable stream.
Drivers are a MAJOR pain to write (for me, at least) but for some it seems to be easier to do. I know that WeeWx has a bunch for stations and when I looked at the code it runs from 'relatively' simple to what the heck are they doing, especially when they use OOP techniques and stuff without a lot of comments in the code to tell you what and why they are doing it.
If you find a WD driver that does what you want, or close, please let us know. Dale
