Question: why LoRa_APRS_Wx_Station features isn't implement in LoRa_APRS_iGate LoRa_APRS_iGate?

As in topic: why LoRa_APRS_Wx_Station features isn't implement in LoRa_APRS_iGate LoRa_APRS_iGate?
e.g. as a additional section to activate this functionality (sensors)

I just wanted to ask you this when I get back from vacation.

Hi,

as the first iteration of this new firmware there is not plan to add this soon to igate because of the needed timing for sensors to read the data and also to avoid loosing data when Rx, or digirepeating and so on

in a close future timing I will try to though

I would also be appreciated if the weather funtions (esp. Rain data) will be implemented into IGate as an additional section. Do you have an idea when this will be implemented?

i have many things to add to tracker (webconfig and web installer) and also a few new things to the igate.

adding this sensors could be done but I need time (so maybe a few weeks until all the other requests are done)

Hi, did you already had the chance to add weather functions to igate?

[richonguzman]

The way Weather Sensor are read and how they are processed take a while and could affect the Rx and Tx process of the iGate station. This has been the only reason to not implement this right away into iGate FW.

or are you ok on loosing some small amount of time at the sensor readings?
