Hi,
I get: -
pak@Peters-iMac ~ % tail -f -n 10 /var/log/weewx.log
weewx[107] CRITICAL weewx.engine: ****
sorted(core.find(find_all=True), key=lambda d: d.bus),
weewx[107] CRITICAL weewx.engine: **** File
"/Library/Python/3.8/site-packages/usb/core.py", line 1299, in find
weewx[107] CRITICAL weewx.engine: **** raise NoBackendError('No
backend available')
weewx[107] CRITICAL weewx.engine: **** usb.core.NoBackendError: No
backend available
weewx[107] CRITICAL __main__: Unable to load driver: No backend available
weewx[107] CRITICAL __main__: **** Exiting...
What does that indicate - the driver is missing?
Thanks,
Peter.
