I found out that the adapter plugs into a multi-pin expansion port on the Davis display console. I found a pinout for the port and there is TTL level serial, along with ground and +VCC to power the adapter. Looks like an easy ST3232 TTL-Serial adapter mod job using a PCB. I'm curious to see what format the serial data is coming from the port.</div><div><br></div><div class="ydpeb4c02easignature">Jason Rausch K4APR<div>www.ke4nyv.com</div></div></div>

I am trying to help another guy get this going. From what I have found out so far, it looks like Davis makes an (RS232 Datalogger) that looks like some kind of TTL to RS232 adapter going from an RJ45 to a terminal block that I guess is putting out RS232 levels and still needs a cut off serial cable or something similar to complete the wiring job. The major problem with this is, the adapter is another $225.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Has anyone found a better (lower cost) option. I see that WeeWX running on a Pi has native USB support for the Davis and even feeds to the CWOP servers, but I can't find any support for APRS whether through a direct TCP/IP feed to APRS-IS and/or a way to reformat the data to a Peet Bros or other similar format and then spit it back out at serial (TTL or RS232) levels that I can then feed to an OpenTracker or similar APRS device to get the data to the actual RF network.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Any guidance would be great!</div><div><br></div><div class="yiv9505940242ydp3cd25da9signature">Jason Rausch K4APR<div>www.ke4nyv.com</div></div></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>aprssig mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:aprssig@lists.tapr.org" href="mailto:aprssig@lists.tapr.org">aprssig@lists.tapr.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.tapr.org/mailman/listinfo/aprssig_lists.tapr.org" target="_blank">http://lists.tapr.org/mailman/listinfo/aprssig_lists.tapr.org</a><br></div>
