[OZAPRS] WM-918 weather station interfaced to a Ui-Digi, Information

[Tony Hunt]

Here in Adelaide one station has managed to get this going..
Its still rather Beta-ish but seems to work ok.. Some folks to test it out
is what it really needs..

Down the track Andrew is looking at getting this to work with a Generic
TNC
in converse mode
as well..

Currently it will interface with a TNC fitted with Ui-Digi firmware.
You will need the ability to program some firmware into a PIC 16f84 ..
This
is the same type of PIC used in the Tinytrak MK-1

The WM918 wx station was also marketed as a WM200 or Radio Shack weather
station as far as I beleive.. It has had a fair distribution around the
world and there seems to be alot of info available on it all..

For us in VK land its pretty dificult to test this setup in some of the
more
extreem weather conditions although we have managed to test it above 100
deg
F ..

Goto this WEB page and follow the link have a look.. Happy building..

Thanks to Andrew VK5EX for his efforts on this setup so far..
