Running the sketch on a Wemos DI mini?

So, I get to answer my own tech post...



I did some web scrapes to determine how/why there was a watchdog operation going on when there's no code in the sketch. A few key hits later in the Arduino forum there were some comments that described the underpinnings of the ESP8266 operations. Specifically, blocking loops needed to service the watchdog operations.



Per the suggested advice, I added this to the .returnMessageValues() class method in the primary while{} blocker:



while (noErrors && (nosBytes < maxBytes))

{

microLengthofPulse = micros();

boolean clearOnce = true;

boolean NotFoundTran = true;

while (NotFoundTran)

{

    yield();

    if (digitalRead(RxPin) != tempBit)

    NotFoundTran = true;

Now it's running!

Hopefully anyone else looking to port this over to a D1 mini will find this useful.
Now I'll wedge in the MQTT support in able to log the Weather Rack 2 data into Grafana and InfluxDB

I used the Arduino sketch to start off with...
Haven't explored the ESP32 flavor, so likely this has compensation for Espressif silicon.

One other oddity after getting this operational is I don't think I have the exact Station Rack?
The unit came with a local display that's also surfacing barometric pressure.

Acquired this at a local garage sale... the accompanying user reference cites the Sainlogic WS-0835

Yes, I used Google Image search and found your WR2 unit that matches this one.  Although it has Baro data, I'm convinced it's local to the HMI display as there's nothing in the payload. 

I'm also dubious of the Vis & UV level data since they don't appears to fluctuate at all.  Your specs list a 0-15 UV index and visible lux of 0 to 200 klux (which is declared as uint-16 in the Arduino class).  The unit has no apparent aperture where you're unit is shown to have this sensor.

Here's the MQTT payloads that surface:
tele/a8ea54/VLLEVL 69627

tele/a8ea54/UVLEVL 251

Awesome work on the class object...
it works nicely despite the high noise floor here in my office.
