Here's the status of the WeeWx experiment with DW8780.... 1. I had to switch back to the Win10-Cumulus setup because of the reporting interval issue. I need to spend a little more time reading the documentation to see if I can figure it out. Right now the weewx.conf file for CWOP is set to pull data every 5 minutes (300 seconds). But, the Program uploads data to CWOP, PWS, and Wunderground every 30 minutes, and there is no clear description in the doc about what to change to make it happen on a different schedule.
2. My Linux computer, the host for WeeWx, still has some issues when it boots up. These issues have to do with the unit updating, and its insane desire to get every password known to man to operate cleanly Needless to say, it is not presently a walk away system like my Win 10 PC. It might help if I was more experienced with Python - any positive comments would be appreciated. Thank you rsl .
