Well that is your choice - but I suspect your problems are more to do with using Linux instead of windows rather than having anything whatsoever to do with weewx. Weewx is fantastic software - all that you had to do was tell weewx the ip address of your weather station - but that seemed to be

Your weewx.conf file is right where it belongs. After the reboot you can check the status with this command sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog You should see the device connected and something like this: Jan 25 18:59:24 garagepi3 weewx[25463]: restx: WOW: Posting not enabled. Jan 25 18:59:24
