USB Weather Board with Arduino Duemilanove

Hi,

We are currently designing a system which uses the data from the Sparkfun USB Weatherboard, via an Arduino Duemilanove USB, to activate a window actuator based on weather inputs.

We are currently running into trouble reading the outputs from the USB weatherboard on the Arduino. In the Arduino readout we are receiving erroneous numbers rather than the structured ASCII string that the USB weatherboard transmits. We have looked at the examples provided on the SF site but they don’t seem to compile.

Has anyone had any experience connecting these two boards that could share code or help us troubleshoot our issues?

how did you connect your arduino to the weatherboard? because you can’t just connect them by a usb cable

Connecting the tx/rx pins (digital output 0 & 1) to rx/tx pins of the weather board. We powered the weather board running wires +5V and ground to the arduino board.
