ambient weather® USB reader

This is a program for reading data out of an ambient weather® weather station. I don't remember were I found the original, but I have modified it to have a -J option to export in json.

The code feels reverse engineered and is a bit of a mess, but I couldn't find any documentation from the manufacturer to make a nicer one.

It's gross. I hope to never look at it again. But it might work for you.

Installation

$ make install  # deal with your account and privilege issues
$ wwsr -J
{"temperature":22.9,"humidity":63,"pressure":1002.1}

Provenance

I forgot where I found this on the internet, but it's header reads:

No one has thought to grant any rights to use this software which depending on your applicable jurisdiction renders any use a violation.

I explicitly disclaim any rights to my changes.
