Ultimeter Weather Station
Current weather at my house.
The weather station runs as a background process once per minute,
logging the current time, temperature, wind direction and speed to a file.
Note that PBU2100.py provides a way to define the data you would like to have displayed as text.
It is easy to log this to a text file or a CSV file.
