The problem is encountered when using the extension installer/uninstaller weectl extension. If you install WeeWX v5 via a package install and then use weectl extension install to install an extension, some or all of the extension files may be installed in an incorrect location. At this stage

I'm using weewx 5.0.0-1 (which I upgraded through Debian apt) and the GW1000 driver. Does that mean I should not install the driver via wee_extension until a new version comes out? Thanks... Andrew On Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 11:30:24 AM UTC-7 Tom Keffer wrote: > We have discovered

Thanks to all. I made a template index.txt.tmpl in ./skins/Standard. Added a new group [[[index_txt]]] with that tmpl in skin.conf. Bingo all goes like it should. On Friday, January 17, 2020 at 4:24:28 PM UTC+13, Ian Boag wrote: > > Thanks/ I didn't know about the CheetahGenerator

Thanks/ I didn't know about the CheetahGenerator stuff. The thing I am doing here is combining WS data (Wind stuff) with external data (runway direction) to get derived values (preferred runway and crosswind) On Friday, January 17, 2020 at 12:04:35 PM UTC+13, gjr80 wrote: > > Some comments

I don't need to store anything in the database. It's just a "now" site for an airfield using data from a FO station. So the index.html is pretty simple. After wee_reports, I pick the wind/gust speed/direction out of the generated html. Then I combine that with runway (direction) info to

Ian, While not an answer to your actual question, are you aware of jordi's Runway Plot Generator? It seems like it could be useful. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/weewx-development/tk9_SIlVWqs/TmvKwTdWh3IJ https://github.com/JWarmenhoven/weewx On 17/01/2020, vince wrote: > On Thursday,

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for. If it's to directly read the LOOP packets, the Vantage driver can do that. If you used the setup.py install method, it would look something like this: cd /home/weewx PYTHONPATH=bin python -m weewx.drivers.vantage --port=/dev/ttyUSB0 -tk On Tue, May

Hello Andrew Thank you for your answer. I do not think Davis has any interest in being able to read the console directly? The python script described by me, I found here in the forum. I guess that's something someone wrote from here? Here is the link to

maybe you should just tell Davis that they should provide a Python script to allow you to read the instrument cluster directly like Lufft! On Tuesday, 21 May 2019 08:33:00 UTC+3, Stefan Schnidrig wrote: > > Hello Alan > The Without the console sounds good. Do you have the link to

Hello Alan The Without the console sounds good. Do you have the link to this topic? Primarily, however, it would concern me that I could directly read the console via a python script. So without a software. With the weather station Lufft there is a python script, which can read out the sensor

Without the base station? I did that for a couple years with the Vantage Vue using a 3DR radio. If that is what you are trying to do, wxforum has an extensive thread titled "Implementing a Si1000 based wireless receiver for Davis ISS data" that I used to get it running. When the Vue no longer
