Re: [weewx-user] Re: rapidfire work on usb conected acurite display and 5-1 sensor?

Warren: Matthew has come up with a fix. If you want to give it a try, you
can replace your copy of the file bin/weewx/wxservices.py with this one

.

Alternatively, if you're using git, you can just do a pull and run it out
of the git directory.

If you're just experimenting, you need not install it at all. Just go into
the directory where you cloned weewx, and run it directly from there,
giving a path to your weewx.conf file. For example,

cd ~/git/weewx
./bin/weewxd /etc/weewx.conf

Thanks for the info. I will read up on git and install on my RPi2. Having 
programmed in VB, ASP, PHP, and even a little WebDelphi for years, perhaps 
the learning curve won't be too steep.

usually it is pretty safe to use what is on the master branch.  we try to 
never 'break' the master, but sometimes bugs happen.

really disruptive changes happen on a branch so they can be tested first.  
for example, there is a lot of activity right now on the 'development' 
branch.

there is not yet a date set for the 3.7 release.  there will probably be a 
lengthy public testing period before 3.7 is ready to replace 3.6.

if you want to run from code directly from master, download the zip file 
from github (click the green 'clone or download' button and select 
'Download ZIP').  unzip it, then install using the setup.py approach.  deb 
and rpm packages are only available once we get into the last stages of 
testing a release.

if you want to keep updated with the latest changes from master, then use 
'git' to clone the repository and to update your copy over time.  details 
for doing that would take more than a couple of sentences.

if you are playing with unstable code (yours or that of someone else), be 
sure to backup your database, and keep a copy of your working weewx around 
in case you want to roll back.

its pretty easy to switch back and forth from one version of weewx to 
another, but probably not something you want to do on a production system.

anthony,

packet caching for rapidfire was added on 02 nov 2016 (commit 
4ed8c78069a60fbb4968679beb3766ac57f5fde1), but it is not yet available in a 
regular weewx release.

if you want to live on the edge, install from the master branch of the 
repository.

if you want stability, wait for the next weewx release.

[weewx-user] Re: rapidfire work on usb conected acurite display and 5-1 sensor?

[wxwatching]

I seemed to be having the same type of problem. I just recently setup my 
Acurite 01036 Console Display with RPi2 and Weewx. I turned on WU Rapid 
Fire but had all kinds of issues with missing data. Turned it off and data 
appears consistent. Has this issue been resolved or is there any resolution 
to this problem? Would like to get Rapid Fire working.

Thanks,
Anthony

[Jimmy r]

Thanks for the info, looks like using the bridge instead of USB has the 
same issue. I was using a windows computer for a few years with the kevin 
key's Acu-Link to Weather 
Underground 
http://kevin-key.blogspot.com/2013/11/app-that-reads-data-from-acu-link.html 
using this it was sending rapid fire, don't know how he had it dealing with 
the partial packets though but it worked. we had a bad lightening strike 
that took out a bunch of stuff in the house so i rebuilt using the 
raspberry instead of fixing the pc.

hi jimmy,

the acurite stations send partial packets.  unfortunately, wu rapidfire 
does not work with partial packets.

a solution has been discussed: make the wu restful service cache data.  see 
this issue for details:

https://github.com/weewx/weewx/issues/31

however, this solution has not yet been implemented.
