sorry in advance for the lack of analysis on this, but here are some raw data from the heap. this is the heap after initial startup, at the first archive interval. note the total size. 2016-12-18 20:52:44 heap: Partition of a set of 85482 objects. Total size = 10696752 bytes. Index Count %

i've been wrestling some leaky symptoms as well. the system has two CPUs and 4GB ram, but after about 3 or 4 months of continual running, it starts to max out its swap. when that happens, io pegs and the system slows way down. (it is 64-bit intel hardware from 2009) weewx is heavily loaded -

The fact remains that the driver emits rain as 0.518mm or 0.020393701 inches per tip. Since it is a tipping rain gauge the database should only record multiples of this figure. Your initial email mentions 2 numbers; 0.040551181102 etc and 0.32519685039 etc. The first is clearly meant to be 2 tip

Thank you Joe. I was looking at the Vantage Vue, but the least expensive seems to be about $265, so if you have any ideas about something less expensive that would be helpful. I presume the console is connected to the Pi via the USB interface ? Any recommendation on model (or add on’s) ? Wha

Jerry, This is easy to do out of the box. In my set up I have a Vantage Vue Weather station in my yard. The console in my house connects wirelessly to the station. The console then connects to my Pi running weewx. The Pi also has an apache web server. If you connected your Pi to your Ard

I think maybe I may have mislead all of you with my problem. There isn't a problem, as far as I can tell, with either the driver or WeeWx conversion to US units itself. The problem comes after the conversion when say the sum function adds the converted numbers (in my case 16 significant digits

I would hazard a guess that 0.518 came from empirical testing given the value. However it was derived is irrelevant; that is what the driver uses and somewhere between the input to the driver and the output to the database something appears amiss. I would be surprised if it was anything in the w

This has me very confused - the lacrosse spec for the 2310 says rain is 0- mm or 0-393.66 inches - implying it uses metric, and converts using 25.4 mm to the inch I would hazard a guess that the bucket tip is a nice number in either metric or imperial - but do not see where the conversion o
