Upload To Multiple Data Receivers

Introduction

Upload WS2300 weather station data to various receivers. This application currently supports sending data to Weather Underground and/or Citizen Weather Observer Program ( CWOP ).

Description of Patch

The goals of this application are as follows:

• Upload to multiple receivers in one invocation. This allows for one schedule ( like cron ) to service all receivers.
• This application is initially a refactor of wu2300 and cw2300. It combines the efforts of those two applications. It should be backwards compatible with those applications. wu2300 and cw2300 could potentially be reduced to a simple call through to this application with the proper switches.
• Common interactions with the weather station are not duplicated for various receivers, increasing combined performance.
• Gust support for all receivers, with the gust reset occuring once for all uploads. This was not possible with split uploads.
• Add support for other data uploads as identified ( possibly hamweather.net ) to this application.

usage: up2300 [--debug] [--noupdate] [--nogust] [--receivers=wu,cw] [config]

• --debug, turn on useful debugging information. optional, defaults to silent.
• --noupdate, run in "safe" mode. will not reset the station or write to receivers. especially useful when combined with --debug. optional, defaults to update.
• --nogust, turn off gust support. optional, defaults to on.
• --receivers=LIST, specify a list of receivers for data upload. can be any of; wu,cw,all,none for Weather Underground, CWOP, all or none respectively. optional, defaults to all.
• config, path to configuration file. optional, will look at default paths.
• -h or --usage, print this message then exit.
