I just upgraded from 2.5.1 to 3.7.1. I have spent the last week or so working out the kinks to get my web pages looking like they did before. I use the Davis Envoy with a ethernet weatherlinkIP data logger and now I see "ip-read error: timed out" messages that I didn't see before the upgrade. It appears that the data is coming in and being saved correctly ... just that the logger can't keep up all the time. The database (weewx.sdb) has changed a lot (and was automatically converted at first run) so I have had to tweak the python programs that I wrote to convert the sqlite data to postgresql to be used by my plotting programs I wrote. The stats.sdb file is not used anymore. All the data is stored in weewx.sdb.
Some settings have been added. I had a calibration formula for windchill that didn't work until I set the SdtWXCalculate entry for windchill to prefer_hardware. I thought that it would have to be set to software but that didn't work... after all the calibration formula is run in software. My mistake. After checking the weewx python code I saw that the calibration would only be used if the SdtWXCalculate entry was other than software. I only upgraded because I wanted to refresh the VM install to Debian testing and KDE... I run weewx in a VM on my desktop machine which runs 24/7 anyway. I had no problems with 2.5.1 so if you aren't into tweaking things it might be better to stay at 2.5.1. There may be reasons that Tom or others may be able to help determine the upgrade path you should take. Hopefully they will speak up. ...bob On Thursday, May 11, 2017 at 3:59:45 PM UTC-4, Mikael Djurfeldt wrote: > > I currently run WeeWx 2.5.1.
