I'm attempting to install weewx on a Mac mini that has been running wview
for years. The installation of weewx went relatively smoothly. I copied the
database from wview to weewx and double-checked the configuration files.
I start weewx and receive:
WeatherMini:weewx dsbach$ ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./bin/weewxd", line 64, in <module>
weewx.engine.main(options, args)
File "/Users/Shared/weewx/bin/weewx/engine.py", line 888, in main
engine = engine_class(config_dict)
File "/Users/Shared/weewx/bin/weewx/engine.py", line 72, in __init__
self.setupStation(config_dict)
File "/Users/Shared/weewx/bin/weewx/engine.py", line 90, in setupStation
driver = config_dict[stationType]['driver']
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/configobj.py", line 554, in
__getitem__
val = dict.__getitem__(self, key)
KeyError: 'Vantage'
The wview installation required a serial to USB converter by Silicon Labs
that shows up in /dev as /tty.SLAB_USBtoUART. Two others I tried didn't
work back when I installed wview.
I used screen to attempt to connect to this USB port and it was successful.
I attempted to connect to /dev/ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 without success (there
are no such devs listed). So I believe that the former is the correct port.
But how do I tell weewx to look there for the loop data.
I don't know how to make sense our of the section about udev and creating
an alias in the documentation.
My installation of weewx is straightforward. I'm just trying to replace
wview with weewx at http://hillhousehome.net/weewx.
MacOS El Capitan, MacMini, weewx 3.9.2, final version of wview,
I'm not unfamiliar with weewx - I have a working installation on another
VantagePro 2 weather station on a Raspberry Pi.
I know the basics of linux command line, but often I come across situations
I cannot understand, such as writing udev rules.
