Hello.
Over the holidays, I started trying to get an Acurite 2064 5-n-1 system to
work on a Debian 9.1 installation. I tried using Wine to run the Acurite
PC Connect utility but could not get the Microsoft .NET framework to
install. I heard about weewx and decided to give it a try. This has also
been an exercise in frustration as I don't think the display unit is
showing up on USB. Here is a capture of the system console that starts
when I plug the device into the USB port. Please note, this device seems
to work ok on this same hardware as it's dual-bootable into Windows Vista
or Debian Stretch.

Can someone offer some suggestions as to other things I should try to get
this unit going with Linux? I would appreciate it. Thanks.
