[aprssig] NMEA and WX stations

[Miroslav Skoric]

Hello all,

I have performed some extended tests with PCsensor's TEMPerHUM 
temperature & humidity sensor. The results are there:

I'd like to see some comments and ideas on what I might do next. I've 
been thinking on adding a Rasperry Pi to the game, in order to see if 
TEMPerHUM + RPi combo can be used as a 'poor man's' replacement for a WX 
station.

In fact, I am interested in a lightweight solution that I can carry with 
me to a conference and academic visits, and to show the audience how WX 
data (temperature and humidity only in this case) can be used in APRS. 
The data should be transferred via USB connectivity and in an 
appropriate format from RPi to another computer - a laptop or desktop 
running an APRS client with the map and everything, and of course the 
data must be 'understandable' by that client.

(Any ideas/suggestions please post both here and as comments on the 
above sites, to promote APRS among other electronic enthusiasts ...)
