As you may know if you have followed some of my ramblings I am building a different sort of weather station using professional sensors where possible, and a device called Labjack, in my case a U3. In essence this device measures voltage or a derivative, and turns it into a digital signal. Processed through DAQFactory it can create graphs and readouts and all sorts of weather type stuff. One or two things I am so far unable to create. Apart from a sunshine recorder (thinking of platinum resistance thermometer here somewhere though), low speed anemometer and barometer. if I could port these through from the Cat it would be brilliant especially if 1-wire was available (hint!!!). The question I would like to ask is related to the app for reading data over the internet. Would I be able to sue the same sort of output that is created for that in my own weather station.
A bit off the normal track, but I wonder if I can give some more food for thought. Could it work in reverse? Could the Cat be programmed to use the digital output from Labjack and thus allow all sorts of instrumentation to access this great Mac weather program?
Mmmm, either I am a bit barmy for thinking such thoughts or its getting late here. The sort of computer is beyond my reach, but might it be possible??
Best wishes
