andy, 

you should understand a few things about doing things on linux and other 
unix-like systems:

- the shotgun approach to debugging is analogous to 
fix-the-problem-by-rebooting-the-system-and-hoping-it-will-magically-work-the-next-time.
  
that's what people do on windows because they don't have access to the 
internals.  on linux you can actually figure out what caused the problem.  
you don't have to if you don't care to, but at least it is possible.

- it is much more effective to do one test, understand what happened, and 
only then move on to the next one.

- posting screenshots is a terribly tedious way to communicate.  it is much 
more effective to post the actual text, that way we can discuss/review 
specific items.

as for the output:

it looks like you have a problem in your weewx.conf - the altitude is 
probably incorrectly specified.

it looks like the driver is working properly - you're getting output for 
the readings, and you're getting output for the records.

note that only one process can talk to the station at a time.  when you 
install weewx from deb, weewx is automatically configured to run at system 
startup.  so if you want to run tests that talk to the hardware, you must 
be sure that weewxd is not already running before you run the tests.  if 
weewxd is running when you run the tests, you will get unreliable and 
unrepeatable results.
