FreeWund - WMR-100 to Wunderground


FreeWund is an freeware application to read from a WMR-100 via USB and upload the data to Wunderground.com. I was tired of playing around with $$ software that didn't do what I wanted so I wrote my own.

Main Screen:

The display will read the data and display it here. The checkbox shows that the WMR-100 is connected. The progress bar just runs constantly showing that it is receiving data from the WMR-100. The info for reading the data is from a german web site at: http://www.dg1sfj.de/hardware/hw_wmr100_protokoll.html The wind speed is still not correct.

The settings dialogs is where to configure your Wunderground account.

Enter your station id and password and select the time interval to upload in minutes.
The file name field is to create a file with the temperature data for use in Yawcam.

File is 55 Kb in size here. Just unzip and run. It saves your settings in FreeWund.ini in the same directory as the EXE.

Try it out and let me know how it works. Freeware and should be releasing the source soon.
