Importing Data from Arduino to Meteobridge
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2022 1:27 am
Hello forum , happy new year !
I'm spending days , figuring out how to permanently import sensor data from an arduino to Meteobridge on RP3. I read nearly every threat concerning “arduino”, but none fitted my question.
The task I’m working on, is to connect some Thies, Eigenbrodt and selfmade sensors with RS485 and analog outputs to meteobridge , the arduino in this setup should just convert the analog inputs and serial data to a format that MB can import.
So I started to study the plug-in function , putting a ethernet shield with a simple webserver on the arduino, so that MB can fetch the data via LAN .
Okay – this might work, but the following question popped up :
Isn’t it possible to connect the arduino to the raspberry via USB and getting the data from arduinos serial >directly< to RPs /dev/stdout with the help of a plugin script ? Without the workaround via Lan.
I already tried to hock up both boards via USB and the arduino even showed up on the USB bus /dev/bus/usb/001/ as device 006 , but there ist no device created in /dev like ttyUSB0 .
Does someone has a clue how to configure this ?
Many thanks , Kai
