Gary, The closing remark in your message is not without merit and needs to be applied ....
;-( Enthousiastically wiped weewx.sdb from /home/weewx/archive (*without first shifting a copy elswhere*) and now in trouble. At restart of WeeWX (= with weatherflowudp as driver) no signs of life, except the logging of raw packets (because of related setting). Then executed the actions as shown in the attached zip-file. Now headscratching how to proceed: - with Simulator as datasource everything OK and database filling - with WeatherflowUDP as driver see raw packets passing, but no further signs of life, seemingly confirmed by time-out information. A complete fresh reinstall & setup obviously will remedy the problem, but quicker correction would be nice .... [This problem (in my case) has direct practical relation with 'cleaning' of the database, but possibly better to shift the discussion to another, more appropiate thread dealing with integration of Tempest] Op dinsdag 4 mei 2021 om 22:03:37 UTC+2 schreef gjr80: > The thread you linked describes the process to (1) have WeeWX use a clean > database and (2) change the driver from simulator to FineOffsetUSB (fousb). > Step 3 was all about the latter, it has nothing to do with clearing the > database.
