Tom and Clay, I just successfully got my driver and live data file up and running. There was a fileparse.py driver that required very little modification. All I had to do was rewrite my own live data file generator to generate an additional constantly updating data stream per weewx's simple data posting needs.
Now to get that French fellow's template up and running... ;) Sean On Saturday, July 29, 2017 at 3:55:27 PM UTC-6, Sean Coston wrote: > > Hi all.
