Re: [weewx-user] Re: WeeWx Upgrade Failure

[Fred Keller]

Thanks for your quick reply.I went to the Upgrade guide and I now see
that the commands changed and the new commands are working.

I have another question.  After the upgrade WeeWx is using my prior
configuration file which I think is the default.  However, my current file
shows version 4.10.2.  Should I manually edit my config file to show the
current version.  I notice that the standard webpage in 192.168.../weewx is
still showing version 4.10.2.

Thanks for your help,

Fred

[weewx-user] WeeWx Upgrade Failure

[Fred Keller]

I think my Ubuntu system tried to update my WeeWx 4.10.2 installation and 
had an issue.  I notice that there is a new generic 5.0 configuration file 
in my /etc/weewx directory.  However, I don't think my installation file 
was updated to version 5.  I tried to use wee_config --version to determine 
my version number, but the system does not seem to be able to locate 
wee_config.   It has been so long since I setup WeeWx that I do not know if 
I am doing something wrong when I issue the command.  I am using:  

sudo wee_config --version. 

However, when I try this now it cannot find wee_config

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [weewx-user] Problem Running wee_device

[Fred Keller]

Tom,

Thanks for the quick response.  I don't know why I missed that.  I just
used sudo ahead of the wee_device --info command and it worked
as expected.  I'm not sure why I wasn't using sudo for this command because
I use it for all the others!!  I'm fairly new to the Linux command line.

Thanks again,

Fred

[weewx-user] Problem Running wee_device

[Fred Keller]

I am getting an error when I try to run wee_device.

I stopped the weewx service and waited 1 minute before issuing
 wee_device --info

I got the following error message:

wee_device --info

Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf

I am not sure what to change on my system to allow wee_device to access the 
/dev/ttyUSB0.

[weewx-user] Re: WeeWX Interceptor: Rain not registering

[Fred]

yes, indeed, but would that break other weatherstation interceptor data?

Also, would that be hard to implement? I guess for a generic Wunderground 
Interceptor it would cover many stations in one decoding (This is me 
assuming all station reporting always report all the same fields tu WU?!? 
Probably wishful thinking...)

[weewx-user] Re: WeeWX Interceptor: Rain not registering

[Fred]

Hi Jan,

Biggest problem was getting the data to the interceptor driver: My 
weatherstation is on a different router than my pi...

Thankfully I have the ASUS wrt router software installed, so I was able to 
insert some rules to forward my traffic sent from port 80 to the pi:

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING  -s 192.168.2.165 -j ROUTE --tee --gw 
192.168.1.45
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -d 192.168.2.165 -j ROUTE --tee --gw 
192.168.1.45

The first IP is my weatherstation, the second IP is the PI ...

Maybe it can help you in your quest :)

Fred

Oh,

forgot to mention:

The station is not very old yet: Is it possible it posts the  yearrain 
because it simply has not calculated it yet?!?

Just theorizing :)

[weewx-user] Re: WeeWX Interceptor: Rain not registering

[Fred]

Hi,

First of all: Thank you for writing this software! Its great :)

This is the section you requested (Full file is in my original post, but 
maybe you missed it)

[Interceptor]
# This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.

# The driver to use:
driver = user.interceptor

# Specify the hardware device to capture.  Options include:
#   acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge
#   observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, aka 'observer'
#   lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302
#   lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge
device_type = observer
mode = sniff
iface = enxb827eb718db1
pcap_filter = src 192.168.2.165 and dst port 80


Thanks!


Fred
