Ölbaum’s Delirium

Sander and Grzegorz managed to understand how the La Crosse WS-3600¹ weather station communicates over its serial port. They launched the Open3600 project and have a program for Linux and Windows (with source code) that dumps the contents of the memory.

Hat tip to them, it looks like the protocol is quite unorthodox.

Open3600 – Serial communication with the La Crosse WS-3600 weather station

• dump3600: a program that reads the memory of the WS-3600;
• Available as source code and binary for Linux and Window. Compiles on Mac OS X 10.4 (but not tested yet);
• Communicates over the serial port²;
• Works without requiring the Heavy Weather program or its history.dat file;
• They now need help with the investigation of the memory map.
