Fun with a TX6U Temperature Sensor

My first project with my Raspberry Pi B+ was to try to access the data streaming emitted from a La Crosse TX6U temperature sensor. I put my code up on BitBucket. Here are some details of what I discovered.

TX6U Monitor is a simple application for receiving data from a La Crosse TX6U temperature sensor. The project implements a user space ISR for servicing incomming data and a main application that handles collection and analysis of the ISR data.
