Cumulus MX runs from the command line and there are no graphics to the base program as it just acts as a web server.
MEDIA CENTER OS FOR BANANA PI SOFTWARE
Raspbian requires the use of Mono software package, but it is easily installed and setup. Setup is pretty straightforward with the help of the great user community on the SandaySoft forums. The Raspberry Pi connects to the weather station via the USB port and you can either connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse up to the Pi or connect to it from a browser on any other computer on your internal network (that is my chosen connection here). Davis sells a module that communicates with a computer over a USB port (There is also a less expensive clone of this device out there too.) The Vantage Vue’s sensor unit is mounted about 20 feet above ground on my amateur radio tower in my back yard and it uses a wireless connection to the display console inside the house. My weather station is the Vantage Vue from Davis, but there as numerous weather stations on the market today that can communicate with computers and Cumulus MX will talk to many of them. Cumulus MX can run on several operating systems and I chose Raspbian since I use it with the ADS-B aircraft system I recently installed. Cumulus MX is a comprehensive weather monitoring program from SandaySoft in the UK. I had switched to a netbook for this task, but it still took more power that was really needed for the task.Įnter the Raspberry Pi Model 4B-2GB and Cumulus MX. This required that I leave a computer running 24 hour a day consuming power.

Up until this project I was using a full computer system to run the needed software. I have been running a weather station on my home for many years and I have been sharing my weather data with Weather Underground and the Civilian Weather Observer Program. In this blog we will detail our use of the Raspberry Pi Model 4B-2GB into a weather station installation. In a previous blog we detailed how we set up a Raspberry Pi for an aircraft monitoring station. The uses for small single board computers is endless.
