Gilles, maybe you take a look at the latest driver developments under Indi-duino. I am working on Weather Radio, a complete re-write driver of Indiduino Meteostation, as part of indi-3rdparty/indi-duino:

• JSON document exchanges instead of Firmata
• Calculations of weather functions inside of the INDI driver instead of the Arduino firmware
• Support for several sensors: DHT11/22, TSL2591, BME280, Davis Anemometer
• HTML frontend with Bootstrap 4 and Apex charts library

Since it is at an early stage, the documentation is missing. I will try to add it the next days.

For those interested, take a look at my my home weather station .

I taked a look to your code yesterday. It is already compatible if I select Arduino MeteoStation SQM in the INDI panel? I am doing some test with my new code that use TSL237 and seems to work. I am comparing the values against a values that come out from Unihedron

That looks great Wolfgang! I will take a look at the code as it seems to do what I intended to implement in a new driver, and more. I assume I could flash my current MeteoStation with the firmware provided by the Weather Radio. May I assume that the word 'Radio' implies that it makes use of an ESP8266 or similar WiFi device?

Thanks,

Gilles

If you are using the weather radio firmware, you need to select the Weather Radio driver. It is not compatible to Arduino MeteoStation SQM.

You are right, the intention is to use an ESP8266 or similar. But currently, it is implemented in a classical way using the serial USB connection. But the next version will be one using the HTTP web server of an ESP8266 so that the INDI driver sends an HTTP request and receives a JSON document.

Wolgang, I installed/flashed the Weather Radio firmware in my MeteoStation hardware. Great work! I will adopt Weather Radio as my weather information device from now on as its much easier to use than the indiduinoMeteo with which I had connection problems in a distributed INDI environment; most often INDI would connect to the indi_duino driver not as a weather station but as the "simple switcher" driver IIRC, not much useful.

Thanks again.

Gilles

Actually in your project, can I disable Wind stuff and do not get Weather warnings?

Hm, I'm afraid you need to change the code a little bit. Simply comment lines 138-139 and 146-147.

I am running some test, and in the standard indi-duino meteo, warnings does not have any effect on the image scheduler

With your code warnings works properly, but you use the TSL2591 sensor for the SQM, but now I am using the TSL237, and I have to change your arduino code to replace the TSL2591 code

Here I can't help, I have no experience with the TSL237. But you can use the pattern for TSL2591. If you need help, feel free...

I changed the TSL2591 code with the code for the TSL237, I also changed the SQM formula and the weathercalculator.h because actually I pass directlly the calculated SQM as lux value
