[weewx-user] Problems updating my Driver

['Mike Whimick' via weewx-user]

Hi All,

Over the past week I have been trying to update my Driver that I use with 
my Raspberry Pi3 and GrovePi board.

The problem I have is that it appears to load up and then stops and shows:

Nov  9 23:10:07 RaspiDexmet2 weewx[3252]: engine: Starting up weewx version 
3.7.1
Nov  9 23:10:07 RaspiDexmet2 weewx[3252]: engine: Starting main packet loop.


Can anyone please advise as to what I am doing wrong?
I have uploaded at shortened version of my driver,, hope someone may help 
solve the problem

Many thanks
Michael

['Mike Whimick' via weewx-user]

Thankyou for replying.

I think that I may have forecat working now, how ever I have not been able 
to add it to the standard skin, despite following instructions on the wilki 
page and searching this group.

Can some kind person post some example code so I may do it.   Or better 
still a complete Standard skin folder with forcast correctly setup.

Thanks for replying,

Sadley I'm still not able to get it to work.

I have installed the latest version today.

Has any one managed to get to work from the UK metoffice if so please can 
the post how the set it up.

My API key works and I tried it using the web page suggest. I also copied 
it into the config, so it looks as below. 

[[UKMO]]
enable = true
# An API key is required to access the UK Met Office forecasts.
# Create an account and obtain datapoint access here:


http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/03772?res=3hourly=##
# The location is one of the 5,000 or so locationIDs in the UK
# location = London

# How often to download the forecast, in seconds
interval = 10800

This brings up HEATHROW

but throw many error.

[weewx-user] Re: Weewx to weatherdisplay

['Mike Whimick' via weewx-user]

Hi Topher,

At this moment in time I am not using weewx-wd.

What I have done is to add this function to my weewx driver.

Which creates a clientraw_wx.txt to tme ramdisk I have on my pi3.

The # 
01-2-34567-8-9-101112--13
  
is just so I can keep track of the variables I have used so far.

There order and I took from WD's clientrawdescription.txt in WD for windows 
folder,   I also search the internet for more details,
its far from perfect, but seem to work(ish).

Sadly my programming skills are very limited and the py code could well be 
improved by some one with more skills than mine

The code is called by using self.clientraw().

My driver uses a GrovePi Board and Grove sensors and a Switchdocs Labs 
GroveWeatherPi, and Maplin Wind and Rain sensors, which are called by using 
a modified version of the weather rack code.

def clientraw(self):
ID_code = 12345
null = "--"
d_m = time.strftime("%d %m")
wd_time = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
st_name = "Whimick Met"
# eor = "!!EOR!!"
eor = "!!C10.37S28!!"
# 
01-2-34567-8-9-101112--13
wxdat = [ID_code, knot, knot, degrees, outTemp, outHumidity, hPa, 
rain, null, null, null, null, inTemp, null,
null, null, null, null, null, null, system_temp, null, 
null, null, null, null, null, null, null,
wd_time, st_name, null, radiation, d_m, eor]
# 
-141516171819---20---212223242526272829
# -3132

cl_raw = open('/home/weewx/wxram/clientraw_wx.txt', 'w')
for wxdat in wxdat:
# print "%s" % wxdat,
client = "%s " % wxdat
cl_raw.write(client)

else:
cl_raw.close()
return

I hope this helps
regards Michael

I am still playing with weewxwd and have foud that looking at the log for 
Weather Display it show an error
'--' is not a valid integer value.

Does any one know how this could be fixed, it looks like a error created by

Has any one managed to conect Weatherdisplay windows version to weewx, so 
WD recieves it's data from weewx through a home network.

I have installed and have running the weewxwd-1.0.0 extention, but so fare 
not been able to work how to connect WD to the clientraw.txt in my 
Raspberry Pi

If you can please can please can you explain how to do it.

[weewx-user] Try to create a new driver

['Mike Whimick' via weewx-user]

Hello All,

For the past few months I have been playing around at writing a new 
driver.  This week I have decided to change my current driver that uses 
FileParse (which works ok-ish), to using loop packets, which I believe to 
be more effient.

Using my efforts and borrowing from other drivers I have created a small 
part of my driver that uses data from a BME280 sensor, plugged into a 
SwitchDoc labs Groveweather, the connect onto my GrovePi by the l2c port.

So far my efforts at least runs on Weewx and as far as I know with out 
throwing any errors which I check by using  sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog.
How ever it does not appear to port date into Weewx.

Please can some-one take a look at my code and point in the right direction 
too getting it to work, so I may later add more sensors to it.   It is 
likely I have made some howling mistakes, for which I am sory.

Many thanks Michael.

[weewx-user] Please help progamming a Maplin Anemometer

['Mike Whimick' via weewx-user]

Hello again,

During the past few days I have been trying to write code so to use a 
Maplin Anemometer, which uses a magentic switch to send pulses as it 
rotates.

Which is connected to my GrovePi.

I have been trying to adapt ppm_counter.py that was posted earlier in this 
group.  The code uses GPIO.inputs, and the Grovepi uses 
grovepi.digitalRead(2) to read the sensor.

I have been trying to adapt the code so it will work with my GrovePi D2 
input, and so far I have not been able to get a wind speed reading.

I have included both ppm_counter.py, and my attempt, in the hope someone 
make some suggestions

Michael

#  This was written to use the Raspberry Pi as a weather station. Using

#  the speed in MPH. 
#
#  This is a 5 second average as originally written.  This could be then
#  Put into an array and then a 2 minute average could be calculated for

Thanyou for replying

I have now started to work out how to add wind speed and dirrection, using 
Maplin's Anemometer and wind direction sensor, both of which send a pulse 
as they move.

Connecting it to my Grovepi is part.
However working out to to count the pulses, and use them, will require some 
search to find out to do it. FUN!!!
So I will be spending some time playing.

At some point I hope to use the python code and use it to send packets, 
staht is for another day though.

I do hope my efforts may help others and to thank who have helped by 
posting their code.

I would be greatfull for any suggestions.

Michael
