Weather APRS data converter
By VK5DJA data converter for the Tandy WM918 weather station.
The Weather APRS data converter project aims to create an interface to interpret data from the popular Tandy WM918 weather station and format it for transmission over packet radio. The South East Radio Group in South Australia has established a network of these weather stations to provide amateurs with regularly updated weather data. However, the WM918's data output is not structured for APRS weather reporting. This project describes a solution using a PIC microcontroller to convert the WM918 data into APRS-compatible strings that can be sent as beacons or connected packets. The interface offers features like position/positionless data, connected/beacon modes, and metric/imperial units. The goal is to create an interconnected weather reporting system for amateur radio operators
