It's a good question. The code to decode the older VP packets has been in weewx since time zero, but I have no idea if anyone has actually tried it! But, I doubt it would be a big problem.
As for the Lantronix, that's outside the scope of WeeWX. If it can make the port look like a serial port, then it should work. Your biggest problem may be finding the right driver for Ubuntu. Only one way to find out for sure: try the setup. There is little risk besides an hour or two of your time. -tk On Tue, Dec 26, 2017 at 10:10 PM, 'loonsailor' via weewx-user < [email protected]> wrote: > I forgot to mention - running under Ubunto 17.10. > > > On Tuesday, December 26, 2017 at 9:57:39 PM UTC-8, loonsailor wrote: >> >> My old computer, on which I've been running view for many years, has >> died.
