I found that the time was incorrect in the console so I set it right I 
think. Then I just went to bed last nite. I got up to find the page had 
indeed updated. Everything is working but the wind sensor. I took it apart 
and checked the batteries and they are 1.5Vdc and the solar cell is putting 
out 1.5Vdc also. I did push the reset button and here we are. After about 
20 minutes still no wind info. But that is major progress. 

Now am I correct is saying that I probably have bad data in the file 
weewx.sdb so I should stop weewx and delete weewx.sdb. Is that the only 
file that needs to be deleted? Should I also clear and reset the WMR200A 
station and let it start from scratch again?
