Introduction to the Project:
As I know all Bresser Weather Stations models are open to be utilised in our projects like the model I have, the 7in1; others are available as per the 5in1, 6in1 and 8in1 models. That is a very good news. If you are a consumer not interested to make a project, in the market you may buy Bresser weather stations ready to directly connect the Weather Underground Map and publish your local environment data to all the world. So, no work to do at all, if you wish. The difference between sending or not to Wunderground by Bresser is made by its indoor display unit, not by the external sensors, so the price is higher for the models with a richer indoor display unit. I like to have a display on my desk too, so I suggest to buy the Bresser with the display, even a simple one, but if you like to save money and make a project, you could order the sensor outdoor unit only, they sell it as spare part too. So, some Bresser can send by themselves to Weather Underground server but not to APRS or other servers…
Due to the fact I am an Ham Radio “old man” operator with a deep passion for electronics and automation, since a long time ago I would like to be present in APRS map. You may know the APRS world is not only reserved to licensed radio operators but open to all people that may join to the Citizen Weather Observation Program.
- The Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is a digital communications protocol used by licensed amateur (ham) radio operators to exchange real-time data, such as location (GPS), weather information, telemetry, messages and other. You may have more information here on aprs.fi
- Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP): non-hams can use the APRS protocol to share weather data via the internet without a radio license. These users are assigned a special non-ham designator (e.g., “DW” followed by numbers) instead of a callsign. More information on CWOP here
A natural step other than the “special” above, is the common and world wide large Weather Underground Map, I liked to join as well as it is a “must be”.
