Weather Station logger

Hi all,

I currently have an Oregon Scientific weather station. So that my mom can monitor it (she's a weather freak and lives 1500 km away from me) I plugged the weather station to my Mac Mini (via USB) and using an App I can feed data to the Weather Underground web portal.

I really don't like the idea of having the Mac Mini on 24/7 only to send some data to a web service. It's power-consuming and also keeps busy on of the USB ports continiously.

A couple of years ago, when I was researching for ways to feed the data to Weather Underground, believe I found some article about using an Arduino to do this job. It could have been a Rastberry Pi however, at the time I wasn't interested on Arduino nor did I know what it was.

Does somebody have information regarding a project like this? I'm trying to locate the blog I found that time but, as it often happens, I don't find it anymore.

Any halp would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I just googled it and found this one

However it doesn't mention which brand it is.

Google lists them all

Thanks, I've seen those already but what I need is not a receiver for the Weather Station sensors but the interface to deliver the data to the net.

This any good? How to connect a weather station WS2355 (or WS2300) to Weather Underground with Arduino - Open Electronics - Open Electronics

I bought a Yun shortly after they were available and it stayed in the box until about 3 weeks ago when I needed to start posting some data to the web. 30 minutes after opening the box I was posting data to the web.

Hope this helps,
