Hello all again, and for those celebrating the holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy
Chanukah, joyous Kwanza and if I missed something, the best of the holiday
season to you.
I did get an Acurite weather station with USB.
I hooked up my computer to the USB and was able to download info, showing that
the interface was working.
I got a Pi3 setup and running.
I installed weewx as per the instructions.
I started up weewx as:
sudo weewx weewx.conf
I then get an error message, because the configuration file is in /etc/weewx
not in /home/pi
if I do a cd /etc/weewx and try to run it there, it can’t find the program.
OK, it’s been years since I’ve seriously used Unix of any kind directly. Any
clues as to tell it how to find the config file ?
