Hello Stuart,

Hardware:
The Meteobridge will not run on the raspberryPI. But it runs on different hardware readily available around the world.
http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Hardware
There is extensive documentation how to flash the device with the Meteobridge" loader". The latest release of Meteobridge is thereafter always loaded when you reboot the device. You can buy the "inexpensive' hardware first, test Meteobridge and then buy the licence if it works well.

If you want to use a "template" for your website:

You can see my Meteobridge site at http://www.wiri.be/weather2/index.php?p=10&lang=en using my own Leuven-template and at http://www.wiri.be/saratoga/wxindex.php using the Saratoga-template. This small Meteobridge device uploads the multiple (5) data-files for the two templates with ease.

If you spot errors in the English language in the Leuven-template, that is because I am Dutch and English is not my native language. But you can correct those errors yourself. There are translation files for every piece of text.

Succes, Wim

Hi Succes, Wim thank you for your reply i thought that might have been the case i will do some more research on the hardware this all looks very interesting i have been for some time posting my data from my Vantage Pro 2 successfully via my WLIP but i wanted to start exploring other avenues and something a bit more challenging.
Thanks
Stuart
