Is this comment still accurate?

The TODO comment is in fact old. I'll remove it.

Given the extensive parsing logic and math involved, I wonder if we should make a void function to extract this block to, so that it doesn't bloat runOnce()

Sure I can do that. All that logic is pretty confusing.

@tavdog Love your work here. Just setting up a WS85 meshtastic station. |
Apparently the station reports RainIntSum and Rain values and I'm not sure what exactly that Sum interval is. But yes it would require adding those two items to the protobufs if we wanted to include the rain values. |
This PR adds a new SerialModule mode for the WS85 ultrasonic anemometer / weather station. Attaching the station via a serial connection allows for Meshtastic to read the weather data and transmit it at 5 minute intervals as Telemetry data to the mesh.
To enable this mode you must use the cli to issue
meshtastic --set serial.mode 6as this mode is not present in any of the other clients at the time of this PR.
