This is what i have, although i got it from e-bay before they were in
Maplins.

I use to have a perl script kill off the easy weather software and the
load the .dat file into mysql.

But since the post about Cumlus software I have download that and it
talks directly to the device. today i switched on the xap and within
minutes I got the readings into floor plan. but it's the rainfall
reading i want to get too so i can control the irragtion system.
