Off the top of my head I'd say remove Python 2, install Python 3. That should be enough. (My personal preference would be to then) remove weewx using sudo apt-get remove weewx, then install using the setup.py. I find it much easier to have the whole thing live in the 1 folder /home/weewx. Makes

Ok, I'll try that. Is there a way to make it use python 3 instead? I haven't done much research there, yet. Let's face it. Python 2 is about done. Maybe I'll go dig through the update section of the wiki before I start ;) Thanks again for everything! Ernie On Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 9:13 PM Pat w

Take a backup of everything just in case, then run these commands and it should upgrade to the latest version sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade weewx On Monday, July 20, 2020 at 9:11:39 PM UTC-4, Ernest Jillson wrote: > > It's on raspbian, but I have the /etc/weewx, not /home/weewx. I th

It's on raspbian, but I have the /etc/weewx, not /home/weewx. I think I'll just save off the database and start fresh. On Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 8:59 PM Pat wrote: > Glad it worked! > > Quick way to tell how you installed it, if you have a /home/weewx folder, > it's from the setup.py option. If y

Glad it worked! Quick way to tell how you installed it, if you have a /home/weewx folder, it's from the setup.py option. If you have an /etc/weewx folder, it's probably from apt install weewx (if on ubuntu) or yum install weewx (if on centos/redhat). If none of those are true, then you may be

You, sir, are a brilliant man! Worked like a charm on the first try! Now to brave going to weewx 4.newest and latest Belchertown... Problem is, I don't remember how I installed weewx the first time. Did I use the setup program? Hmmm. Thanks for all your help! Of all the skins I have seen on the

No worries - I wasn't sure if you thought there was a problem with the skin. So I have the same problem as you, where the Davis console sends loops with the most accurate wind direction, but the archive packets are generalized. I hate it, and (with Tom's help) made this quick extension. Basica

First, let me apologize. I didn't mean to imply that the skin was the issue. Thanks for your suggestion to look at the packets. So the loop packets have the correct wind direction in them. The rec packets, however, seem to be rounded to the nearest 22.5 degrees. Obviously the Davis VP2 is capable

I'm not sure this is a problem with the skin, but rather your station reporting the archive value of the wind direction. As you can see on my site, my wind degrees aren't plotted to the nearest value. (e.g. 368 degrees, 334 degree, etc) Before we blame the skin, run weewxd and post some loop an
