first of all, is the acurite driver working for you? does it report *anything*? the original usb consoles had three types of packages, called R1, R2, and R3. it is possible that acurite has used some of the unused bits in these messages to report data from additional sensors. or perhaps the console is spitting out an additional message type. set debug=1 in weewx.conf, and set debug_raw=1 in the [Acurite] stanza, then restart. you should see lots of stuff in the log. you should see the R1 messages every 18 seconds and the R2 messages every 36 seconds. (the R3 messages are historical data, and no one uses them - the firmware in the first and second generations of stations was so bad that it was not worth trying to use the station's logger) > 2) Assuming that they are in the USB data packet(s), how do I add them to > the Standard Skin. > look at the skin.conf and the .tmpl files. if that is not obvious, then take a look at the section of the customization guide that describes the standard report. if that is not obvious, then we might need to update the docs with a "how to add data from additional sensors to a skin" section. > 3) Is there a person(s) on the list here that is familiar enough with the > Acurite driver to assist me in in adding the extra sensors to the driver if > they are not presently there. > yes indeed. i wrote the original driver, but a few other acurite owners have contributed a lot since that first implementation. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
