Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Hi Wade, Thanks for the message and for the info, super helpful. I like the way you've setup the websites. I have had great success with the pi 4 which is installed at the remote location along with a hikvision 1920x1080 ip camera and the acurite 5-in-1 weather station. I'm slowly experimenting

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Hi Sean I am also a kiter. I highly recommend using Weewx it is simply great software and extremely flexible. I have setup three different remote weather stations each using a Raspberry Pi and Weewx. I remotely control them with Real VNC, which is a free package on all Raspberry Pi's and no port

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Thanks for the valuable advice Matthew, very much appreciated. I will look into all of your suggestions. I will be installing the station into the remote location on Tuesday so from then on the testing begins. Thanks for everyone who can contributed and helped me on this project. Thanks, Sean.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

And now, for some reason i've done multiple restarts and it weewx connects via usb every time. The only thing i've done differently is remove the keyboard and mouse from the USB ports, so i guess that was confusing the driver because there were multiple USB devices plugged in? Seeing as the

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Thanks for the reply. Is the RPi rebooting considered a power cycle? Or is the acurite display turning on and off considered a power cycle? To clarify - the acurite display is remaining powered on at all times. Even if i push the settings button for USB Mode it appears to still be on mode 3 or 4

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Hi all, I have successfully setup the rasberry pi with weewx and my acurite 5-in-1 weather station. I can see the live feed using the web browser at http://localhost/weewx At first, after the installation it was not working but i fiddled a bit and changed USB ports etc. and then it began

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Thanks for the suggestion Liz, I tried to open it but i didn't find any hidden usb port... worth a try. I ordered a display that is labelled as having ' PC connect' so i'm hoping that one will be right. On Sun, Oct 6, 2019 at 9:47 AM Liz wrote: > On Sat, 5 Oct 2019 21:10:59 +0400 > Sean

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Thanks Peter, It seems like i purchased the one without 'PC Connect' - very frustrating. I have already brought the device with me to my home in Dubai so no chance to return to Amazon.com - i think the cheapest is going to be to buy a new display that includes pc connect.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Looks pretty much the same as the one I have. Right next to the place where you plug in the 4.5vDC power supply, there is a mini-USB port on mine. There is the little USB symbol above it. [image: image.png] They could have removed it, but it would make no sense. On Sat, Oct 5, 2019 at 7:59 AM

Hi Kevin, Quick question, my acurite station just arrived and when i remove the panel at the back there is no usb port. I wonder if they've updated it and removed that port? Maybe i need to buy the pc connect device as well? This is what my display looks like

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

That's the one I have. It connects to your raspberry pi with a USB cable connected to the back of the display. No other hardware on the computer side. You'll need mounting hardware to install the sensor, or course. The one thing that I don't like about this unit is the thermometer is packaged in

Hi Steve, Me again. I just re-read what I wrote to Sean. I see where you, and probably others, thought I was talking about the cam app. I wrote the reply based upon his question about using a Pi and a Wx station that can be promulgated over the internet. The camera was a secondary thought

You are correct. there is not one for the web cam. The instructable I was referring to is for the Wx station and the Raspberry Pi. I am writing the web cam document now. Keep tabs on the web site. I hope to have it up no later than thursday. It is mostly written. I want to do a step by

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Rasberry Pi weather station with anemometer and camera only

Hi Sean, I don't have access to one of these anemometers but if it is a regular cups anemometer, they are quite simple devices. They have a magnet that activates a reed sensor at every turn, some of them twice per rotation. If that's the case, you will only need two of the wires in the connector
