Hey Andrew, will you please look at the attached screen shots and let me know if this looks correct?
Do I need to restart (sudo /etc/init.d/weewx restart) after I make these changes? I have and the changes don't seem to be taking effect. Is there something else I need to do? With regard to the barometer and altimeter having the same settings; I have probably misled. They are not exactly the same but they were relatively close to each other compared to the pressure value. Here are the current readings as of now when I run sudo weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf. pressure: 29.98 altimeter: 32.57 barometer: 32.74 On Thursday, February 13, 2020 at 12:07:50 AM UTC-8, Andrew Milner wrote: > > If you have a LaCrosse WS28xx station then according to the hardware guide > the station outputs PRESSURE in weewx terminology - regardless of what > LaCrosse call it - and weewx should calculate barometer and altimeter > settings. > > If pressure is incorrect then it can be adjusted as you specified - by > adjusting pressure (not barometer or altimeter) > > Make sure pressure is set to use hardware and barometer and altimeter are > set to use software. > > I am surprised barometer and altimeter are the same values - have you set > the station's altitude in weewx.conf, and have you specified software > generation for the values? > > > > On Thursday, 13 February 2020 09:23:27 UTC+2, Dan Blanchard wrote: >> >> Andrew, are you suggesting that I make a 'correction' entry under >> [StdCalibrate] such as barometer = barometer -2.8 assuming that I am >> getting a pressure reading of 30.13 and Barometer and ALtitude readings of >> 32.93? >> >> (see attached screenshot) >> >> On Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at 7:42:08 PM UTC-8, Andrew Milner wrote: >>> >>> 1. use stdcalibrate section of weewx.conf >>> http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#StdCalibrate >>> 2.
