No, the skin is not the problem. It involves only the database, not the driver.
Somehow the packets are not passing the CRC test. I can think of only three possible failure modes: (1) the wrong value is being calculated by the logger, (2) the driver is reading the number incorrectly, or (3) the driver is calculating the check incorrectly. I say it's #1. What does he think the failure mode is? It is only natural that the manufacturer is trying to shift the blame, but there are thousands of WeeWX installations around the world that are running the code successfully. His is a new product. Why is he so confident that the problem is not on his end? If you are willing, I can send you an instrumented version of vantage.py that would show us what is in the buffer. But, you have to be comfortable with copying it into the correct position. -tk On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 8:31 AM Mauro De Lauretis < [email protected]> wrote: > Tom, it's me again. > > I've contacted the manufacturer of the data logger and he's pretty sure > the errors could depend on the driver (vantage.py). > My WeeWX runs on weather34-skin.
