Hello fellow WX enthusiasts. I've been lurking since August last year. 
Thanks for your collective knowledge. Thank you also to Tom and the myriad 
of other contributors for creating and refining the software.

I've been running weeWX on a Banana Pi M1 since January. Initially I rolled 
my own FileParse driver and loaded archive data into weeWX from a VP2 
connected to a Meteohub instance which was running on a Rapberry Pi Model 
B. This month I decommissioned Meteohub and weeWX is now reading the data 
directly from a Belfryboy USB logger.

The platform
Wireless VP2 with vanilla ISS (no insolation sensors)
Banana Pi M1
storage - 32GB Class 10 SDHC
hwclock - battery-backed DS3231 on the i2c bus
network - TL-WN727N USB wifi adapter
Armbian 5.31 (kernel pinned at 4.9.12-sunxi)
weewx 3.7.1 (installed from the PPA using apt)

Customisations
non-root weewx user
separate weewx log file
Bootstrap-based website
uploading to WUnderground and Weathercloud

Additional packages
sqlite3
zip
lighttpd
php
php5-cgi
php5-sqlite
phpLiteAdmin
fonts-freefont-ttf

Historical observations were brought across from the Meteohub raw files 
using a custom perl script and wee_import.

Installation and configuration wasn't entirely straight-forward. The 
hwclock required a custom systemd unit. The 4.11 series linux kernel broke 
wifi encryption (which is why I've pinned it at 4.9.12). Armbian uses a 
disk-backed memory store for /var/log and the voluminous log entries 
generated by wee_import filled the in-memory filesystem. These were 
relatively minor bumps in the road. If there's interest, I'm willing to 
expand on any aspect of the journey.

Cameron
