A quick update on where I'm up to. I have all of the live data being read successfully, and I can extract all of the logger data. I'm currently in the middle of writing the code to actually process the logger data. This is for the WMR200; I haven't started on the WMR100 code yet.

Hello,

Steve when will you have program for my station Oregon WMR200

Thank

Great work!
Congratulations!

The gap in the live data while downloading the logger data should not be an issue for anybody, as I am sure that everyone has the station connected to a computer 24/7.

Well, I must be the "...odd man out..." because I do not (want to have) my PC on 24/7 all the time, especially during our monsoon season and thunderstorms (tree in front yard was struck; telephone and modem "zapped'). And, I only want a 5-minute data sample interval, that's fast enough for my needs. I actually do not use my WMR200A as a complete "weather station" but instead just for collection of temperature and humidity data, so that I can monitor and analyze the efficiency of our evaporative cooler during summer operation. I need temp and RH% numbers to calculate the wetbulb temperature (using other software) so that cooler "saturation efficiency" (Es) can be calculated:

Es = 100*( DBD / WBD ) = 100*(T1 - T2)/(T1 - T3)

where:
Es = Saturation efficiency, 0-100%
DBD = Dry Bulb Depression (T1 - T2), ºF
WBD = Wet Bulb Depression (T1 - T3), ºF
T1 = Ambient, outside air temperature, ºF
T2 = Cooler discharge air temperature, ºF
T3 = Wet Bulb temperature (max. theoretical cooling), ºF

I call it my "quasi-weather" station.
