Hey, Thanks for your work on this. I'm brand new to weewx, but also have a wmII, and managed to find a datalogger. I've taken this as an opportunity to discover the joys of Rpi serial communications.
I have weewx running fine using the simulator. I seem to have the serial port working, with other serial sources. When I hook it to the wm, and resetart weewx, the last line I seem to get in /var/log/messages is: *13:07:49 weather weewx[319]: engine: Loading station type wmII (user.wmII)* Then, well nothing. Not sure if it is driver, or a weather station issue, and I am still tinkering with it. Having been down this road, if you have any insights, I would be most interested. Thanks!
