I actually originally used a Pi 2 for the radio receiver - MQTT publisher. The radio code was a bit flaky, so I moved to the Arduino ecology. Going back to Pi and also running weewx on the Pi might work out OK. I also have hundreds of Arietta <https://www.ebay.ca/itm/144312456753>single board computers from a surplus donation, which are basically a Pi ZeroW. I ran one of them off a decrepit 12V 10 AH LiPo battery pack during Fiona. It ran for 36+ hours with no drop in supply voltage. Rethinking this problem as "weewx and everything upstream must be uninterruptible" moves it back to being a (simpler?) hardware problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
