New Version 1.4 Now includes Web Server
and Remote command support.
 I decided to create a product that would allow
anyone to create a custom weather station with absolutely no
programming.
KRWeatherBuilder
KRWeather uses a special program called KRWeatherBuilder that allows you
to add entries that define your weather station.
For instance you add an DS1820 1-Wire entry that points to your AAG
Weather Instrument. You define the type of display as well as the
size, location and colors.
By adding the speed sensor and direction sensor entries you can build a
cool weather station shown here.
I added charts to plot long term readings as well as a calculated wind
chill gauge.
This cool clock uses only 2 entries in the KRWeatherBuilder. One
for the round clock and a second for and extra ellipse. If you
want something more elaborate The following weather station was created
with 25 entries.
This is my own personal station and has indoor and outdoor sensors.
Each of the charts represent an 8 hour period.
Currently KRWeather is in beta and we are in the process of adding
features. We are even working on a KRWeather
version for the Pocket PC. If you want something and its in our
power let us know and we will add it.
KRWeather Requirements
In order to run the KRWeather software you need to have a PC with the
.Net framework installed. The framework can be downloaded free
from the Microsoft website.
KRWeather is designed to talk to 1-Wire devices using a DS9097U RS232
Serial interface. The interface routines are built-in to KRWeather
so no drivers are needed.
You will need to purchase 1-Wire chips, devices or instruments, many
of which can be purchased from
Hobby Boards
