Hi a quick question I have a usb weather station and i would like to feed it into my arduino so I no longer need to have it attached to a laptop to upload to pachube -- can I use the arduino MiniUSB and feed it back in to the ardunio via this?
Or not possible due to drivers etc - looking for a easy way to feed in the data signals
thanks

Simple answer, no. The Arduino FTDI serial USB chip is a slave USB that requires talking to a master USB, same thing with your weather station. Both require a master USB to work.

you could send via rf signa the info to your weather station, with usb to rf antenna.
thanks guy thought that would be the case but always hopefull - could look at the rf option as the base unit recieves it signal from the station via wireless - 433mhz
but i have to work for a life so may back burner it for a rainy day
Expensive, but cheaper than a laptop.

Its a usb host device with serial/spi/i2c control i/o.
I have to break mine out one day, and write a arduino lib for it....
