Moving your storage out to non-SD media will also help speed things up a lot. If you get a pi3 or (better yet) a pi3b+ you can even boot off external SSD with 'no' SD at all on the system, assuming you have a good power supply so the disk gets appropriately powered. I've had one running my WeatherFlow UDP based site for a number of months now. Just plain works, if you power it sufficiently. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
