Hello Yes we are getting a display with data showing on the web page. The wind direction and speed are not showing on the console at present. However some times a value is displayed on the webpage. The current readings have a value displayed. The time display is not updating over time, but if I close the browser and restart it, it updates the time one time. The graphs appear to be updating. There has been no rain yet and the previous setup was problematic so I am hopeful to get good rain measurement later.

At least it is working to some extent and that makes me happy for now. I was trying to get a copy of the log file but I can only get a single screen full tonight. Gotta quit for now. Must go to bed early tonight. Have 3 hour trip to Dr appoint tomorrow. Will try again tomorrow night.
