I have connected an Airmar weather station to a Teltonika RUT956 router using a serial connection. My goal is to read data from this weather station on a computer that’s part of the same Local Area Network (LAN).
Here’s the situation:
The weather station sends out various NMEA sentences.
Only about half of these sentences are recognized under the GPS → NMEA Sentences configuration in the router’s settings.
However, there are additional NMEA sentences I need to capture which are not currently defined in the NMEA Sentences configuration.
If it’s not possible to read these additional NMEA messages through the current setup, what alternative methods can I use to make the serial data from the weather station accessible to another computer on the LAN?
One would imagine the Weather Station (software) would be reading the serial data (be it NMEA or whatever) via the serial port and really the RUT956 GPS and/or associated NMEA sentences would have nothing to do with the weather data?
Is it the intention that weather station on another computer will read the station NMEA output? If so what comms does the software support?
Not exactly, the weather station software is on a computer on the LAN (this is a python server written by me). The physical weather station is sitting outside and connected directly via RS232 to the RUT956.
I am looking for the means of broadcasting from RUT956 and polling/receiving the data on my server (alternatives to NMEA forwarding). The NMEA forwarding gets me very close, but the RMS UI doesn’t provide all the sentences I need.
