Have a read of https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Barometer,-pressure,-and-altimeter
You say you are making your own station. That means you will likely be measuring *pressure* at your station so should be reporting that and letting weewx calculate barometer and altimeter. For example my 1wire pressure sensor is correctly reading and reporting 980mbar. The default standard skin template displays barometer (whcih weewx calculated for me), which for mine is now correctly showing 1013mbar, which correlates with the surface level pressure maps from the weather forecast. (I live at 1000ft/300m height) Run weewx with sudo ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf and you should see your LOOP packets, this will show pressure, barometer and altimeter. Sanity check those numbers before applying any corrections On Thursday, 6 July 2017 08:33:23 UTC+12, Jonis Maurin Ceará wrote: > > Tks Gary! > > For now, I'm using a fileparser driver.
