I'm helping somebody on the other US coast set up a new Vue and weewx raspi and wanted some thoughts from folks who've set up remote sites before. The basic story is likely similar to the folks here who've set up sites for schools or park systems etc:
- the recipients will unbox and physically install the gear - they will be responsible for power and network connectivity - they will need to do nothing else and it should just-plain-work Setting up a SD card with Raspbian and Weewx is of course easy, but I need to be able to set the /dev/whatever device name for weewx.conf - should I buy the USB datalogger for the Vue, or is it still best-practice to use serial datalogger and serial-to-USB converter ? - is it bet-the-ranch that it'll be /dev/ttyUSB0 if nothing else is plugged into the pi ? I guess it really comes down to : - is it wisest to ship all the gear initially for me to set up, and then have me rebox+ship it all to them for re-assemble at their location ? - or is it reasonable that I can pre-configure the pi SD card and just ship them that and have it 'absolutely' work there ? Thoughts either way ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
