There are plenty of resources out there so a bit of googling is sure to whet your appetite.
The photo in the Blitzortung post shows 2 Cat5 cables coming out of the antenna housing, the blue is the pre-amplifier cable, the green is for a 1 wire temperature and humidity sensor. The sensor was bought from Hobby Boards.
I have been using Digitemp on the T1010 to monitor the temperature and humidity within the antenna enclosure.
This gives a display in text format:
Sep 21 16:00:58 Sensor 2 C: 26.41 F: 79.53 H: 22%
The next step is to implement OWFS and get the data on this page, hopefully a few other things like rainfall and wind speed/direction, a complete weather station in fact.
To interface to the 1 Wire network I built a DS9097U compatible I/F based on this post and added a Maxim MAX232 on the serial side to convert from RS232 to TTL levels.
More to follow on this subject later.
