FreeWX is a full-featured program
for displaying, logging, emailing and
uploading weather data from the WM-918 / WX-200 electronic weather stations.
FreeWX is FREE for
personal or non-commercial use
FreeWX is a 32 bit Windows
application for the PC. It will run under Windows 98, Windows Me,
Windows NT4 (SP6a), Windows 2000 and Windows XP. FreeWX is NOT
supported under Windows 95 because
there are numerous issues with missing or outdated DLL's.
You will need a bare minimum of a Pentium 133 computer with 32MB of
RAM to run FreeWX.
FreeWX does NOT work with the WMR-918 or WMR-968 wireless type
weather stations. Neither does it work with
any other brand of weather station. If you have a Davis, Peet, LaCrosse or
any other brand of weather station, FreeWX will not work. FreeWX is ONLY
for the WM-918/WX-200 hard wired station distributed by Oregon Scientific,
Huger or Radio Shack. In Australia and New Zealand the WM-918 is distributed
by DSE. If your weather station
doesn't look exactly like the picture on the right then you don't have a
WM-918 or a WX-200. There are no plans to add support for other weather
stations at this time.
Although FreeWX can be used for
casual viewing on the PC of the data from your weather station, it's
intended use is to run continuously for the purpose of long-term logging and
observation of weather conditions as well as providing the basis for a
personal "Internet" weather site.
FreeWX can automatically upload
an image file from a webcam if an image file named VidCap.jpg is found in
the installation folder. You may use any existing webcam software or a
simple freeware video capture application from the author of FreeWX can be
downloaded from this site.
FreeWX also uploads a small raw
weather data file to a website. This data can be accessed and displayed with
a simple web client. You can download the FreeWX web client program from
this site (206KB). |
