Thanks. owserver is indeed running. Evidently, the "Counter.B" needs to have a lower case c, "counter.B" for it to work. At least for me.
It indeed returns a value and tomorrow I will pour more water into the tipping bucket and see if the counter increments. If it does, then I will have to see if the "rain" is posted correctly in weewx. I am pessimistic about success since with everything as it currently is, "rain" never changed with the addition of water. Of course, the problem may lie in the operation of the tipping bucket itself, but tomorrow will tell the tale on what is going on.
