Received inquiries regarding 5x1 Acurite USB display connection, and the 
following is previous experience:


I never had a display for any PWS system as I considered them all outdated 
and not necessary... and that its when it comes online feed and WeeWX.

For 5x1 Acurite, I used Acurite Access (which is the current Acurite Hub) 
direct connected to my Linksys router, with DD-WRT. From there, you have to 
tweak firewall and redirect Access data [source] to RaspeberryPI [target].

My notes on this process:

INTERCEPTOR Driver - for Acurite 5x1

https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor

Installation
0) install weewx, select 'Simulator' driver
http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#installing
1) download interceptor driver
% wget -O weewx-interceptor.zip 
https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor/archive/master.zip
2) install driver
% wee_extension --install weewx-interceptor.zip
3) configure driver
% wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.interceptor --no-prompt
4) WU - DNS hijack, using DD-WRT/Firewall
## WeeWX WU ##
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s [source IP] -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT 
--to-destination [target IP]:80
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
5) Test driver install - provides sensor data
% PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py 
--device=[wu-client, acurite-bridge] --mode=listen --port=80 --debug

Please, read the Interceptor Driver Instructions carefully. There is lots 
of information and options there.
