> > > I also got a Costco Acurite 01536-RX for Christmas. Delayed a couple of weeks in setting it up. I tried weewx first on my Toshiba L355, not successful. But I was not successful at first, probably my error. I think I tried installing with the deb package and from the Mint repository both. I did get to the input screen a couple of times, was not sure what to use for the model number as it is not listed as supported. Decided to try it on my wifes laptop, a Lenovo, running Mint 17.x or 18. It worked just fine. Came back to my computer, finally got it running. Don't know why, it seems to have a hard time getting started. I plan to do more looking at that. I modified acurite.py a little for debugging. After getting it running, I found I can use Wireshark to look at the serial interface (after enabling a kernel module), would have been nice to know that earlier.
The barometric pressure is way wrong on the console, and there is some disagreement between the console and the WeeWx display. I am curious if anyone knows yet what sensors are used. I have resisted peeking so far, but that may change. I will admit to being older, and getting confused about what I entered where in getting this going. But it has been fun, and interesting poking through the Python code to add a couple of debugging outputs to the log file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
