Make sure you read the section *Porting to new hardware <http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#porting>* in the Customizing Guide. It answers some of your questions.
1. The full configuration information is available as the first argument to your driver loader() function as a dictionary. However, in general, you should try to keep your driver as modular as possible, and not pick and choose information from all over the dictionary. Best practice is to have your driver depend on information in its private stanza. For example, if your driver is named mywlnk.py, it should have a stanza [MyWlink] and look there for all its information. But, there are many exceptions to this best practice. 2. The function genArchiveRecords() is a *generator function*. If you don't know what that is, see the section *Generators <https://wiki.python.org/moin/Generators>* in the Python documentation. It takes one argument: a timestamp with the last time in the database. Your function should return all archive records since that time, using a yield statement. It will be called at startup and at the end of each archive interval. However, exactly when should not be your concern --- that's the engine's job. -tk On Sun, Jun 21, 2020 at 10:18 AM Florentin Prevost <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I worked with the fork of > https://github.com/vinceskahan/weewx-weatherlinklive-json and I would > like to ask some questions about driver developpment. > > - How can I passed argument of weewx.conf to my driver ?
