I neglected to include in detail what I had specifically tried.
I did a "pip uninstall pypcap" and "pip uninstall pylibpcap"
Then I installed one at a time and tested. I also tried with both installed.
I also tried with both but installed in the opposite order.
Then I changed pcap.pcapObject() to pcap.pcap() {interceptor.py line 305}
and tried each one of the 6 combinations again.
As in, I ran just interceptor.py from the command line.
I didn't dig too deep in the interceptor code as my hole was rather wide at
the time.
What version of pcap are you using?
I have, according to pip,
libpcap 1.0.0b14
pypcap 1.2.2
I'll re-repeat the whole weewx install again and retest changing only one
variable at a time now that I know listen mode works fine.
My first pass with interceptor.py I stopped 1/2 way and flashed DD-WRT on a
router, suspecting incorrectly that host iptables was funky with my newly
compiled 4.19 kernel config.
I did run wireshark with host iptables but results did not sink in or
something. Every fun tangent deserves it's own fun tangent!
I can install Slackware 14.2 without any 'upgrades', in a VM, and retest
but no promise on when...
Re: rtl_433
Yes yes yes and thank you for weewx-sdr.
Prolly everyone here with email option selected has access to proof of my
ignorance.
It was not until after I posted earlier that I clicked on your name on
github and noticed it was done.
In my deleted post earlier I asked for exactly what was already available.
I had not updated rtl_433 in a while and was still xlating old garbled
output in my head when I dabbled with that aspect of it.
Now it's awesome. But I still need high 2.5e6 samplerate for indoor sensor.
(it's too close to RX antenna)
I suspect you had a hand in filling in the gaps regarding WX sensor packets.
I may have even posted here long ago mentioning that possibility.
I do what I say, even in deleted posts, soooooo..........
I'm off to petition the 'internet' to make you "king of the internet for a
day!"
;-)
