[weewx-user] Re: Trying to connect with WU
Thank you for the pointers and tips! Andrew, with the straight forward methodology and Vince, with a learning link and advice to get going. I think I got it working. I used Nano to edit the weewx file. WU appears to be pulling from my station. I will let WU run for a bit and then see about other sites. Might be something out there I will like better.

I'd suggest any of the zillions of new pi user web-based references for how to get started. One such class is https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-linux-linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-1 which is self-paced and free (if you sign up, just don't go for the 'certificate', do it for free). - you're on a raspi so you are likely logged in as the unprivileged "pi" user.

It's a nice feature if you do things like add an extension or skin which changes content and you later mess something up editing by hand, or want to quickly back out the addition. You just swap the older variant into place and restart weewx and you're back to where you were before essentially. - short answer for WU is you need to edit weewx.conf to set your station parameters and restart weewx and you'll be done, once you can edit a text file comfortably. Be aware, though, that WU is pretty unstable for most people. If you find any 'unexpected features' once you see data appearing there, it's likely the WU side. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

Go in small steps: 1. get weewx running in simulator mode, and generating reports 2. stop weewx, DELETE database (which contains simulator data) 3. reconfigure to take data from your weather station instead of simulator 4. restart weewx 5. Make sure all looks good - 6. stop weewx 7. reconfigure weewx.conf to also update to WU without rapidfire 8. restart weewx 9. Make sure all looks good - WU site being updates, reports being generated, log showing no issues - 10. stop weewx 11. reconfigure to enable rapidfire to WU 12. restart weewx -- 13. Sit back, relax and read/peruse the weewx documentation over and over again from cover to cover!! On Friday, 2 February 2018 08:08:25 UTC+2, William wrote: > Hi everyone.
