Hello All,
For the past few months I have been playing around at writing a new
driver. This week I have decided to change my current driver that uses
FileParse (which works ok-ish), to using loop packets, which I believe to
be more effient.
Using my efforts and borrowing from other drivers I have created a small
part of my driver that uses data from a BME280 sensor, plugged into a
SwitchDoc labs Groveweather, the connect onto my GrovePi by the l2c port.
So far my efforts at least runs on Weewx and as far as I know with out
throwing any errors which I check by using sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog.
How ever it does not appear to port date into Weewx.
Please can some-one take a look at my code and point in the right direction
too getting it to work, so I may later add more sensors to it. It is
likely I have made some howling mistakes, for which I am sory.
Many thanks Michael.
