This is the format of the wxnow.txt file

 

wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Wxnow.txt           

 

This file is generated by CumulusMX on my pi on the second floor of my house (better reception from sensors) and using samba is shared with pi in basement connected to tnc software (YAAC in my case at the moment).

Joe,

 

It may be possible that one of the primary Xastir programmers (I couldn’t code my way out of a wet paper bag unless it’s a DOS script) has an ATU or two to take a look and see if a reoccurring import of a file is possible.  I can’t guarantee it but things have happened in the past…

 

Is there a short definition of the file or, if it’s only a few lines, can you copy/paste those lines into a reply all with a short explanation of the fields?

Hi David

 

Thanks for your reply to my xastir post and I apologize for a direct reply but I couldn’t figure out how to reply to the message, since I did not receive a message to my email address.  

 

I currently use cumulusMX to upload to weather underground and aprs/cwop but I want to connect the weather station to my tnc using xastir so that I can gate the weather on local rf.  Other software (like YAAC< which I am now using)allows for creation of a port  to capture a wxnow.txt file which (in my case) provides the weather info to YAAC which is then sent by radio to the local rf.   Xastir does have an option for a networked weather station which would receive weather data through a port but without additional software to read the weather data and upload it to the port, it is not usable.  If a solution presents itself I may switch to xastir because it has some nice features.
