Tempest WS data for Ham APRS Weather, someone did this already?

I’d like to use my Tempest WS data for Ham APRS Weather. Has anyone done this? Thanks

WeeWX has third-party station driver support for Tempest, and can easily run on a Raspberry Pi.

WeeWX has Internet-based APRS (and CWOP) uploads to the gateways via a built-in integration.

There are how-to articles on the web for making WeeWX transmit via 2-meter RF.

I had APRX running on a second Raspberry Pi operating as a digipeater, and also transmitting WeeWX data via an HT for about a week. A lightning strike fried the Pi before I made a backup, and I haven’t had the motivation to rebuild the setup again…

Man, same thing here, except lighting got my gateway back in 2016 not long after I bought it and got it all running. I guess I took it as an omen from the Radio Gods at the time and just didn’t bother to rebuild my system. But in the time it was running I learned a lot of cool stuff and there was still plenty yet to learn so I think I am going to purchase a new gateway and give it another shot. Cheers! Jim - AF5XW
