Good morning, I am trying to run weewx on a raspberry pi 2b (Rev 1.1) with a custom driver named vueiss.py. this driver can fetch data from davis vantage vue without the davis console. Its installation and use is not very good documented, see the authors ressources: https://buwx.de/index.php/technik https://buwx.de/index.php/technik/79-logger2 https://github.com/buwx/ Sorry, the links are only in german.
But with a little effort, everything works fine. The Simulator is writing to the mariadb and reports are showing up. The pi is receiving data from the Vue ISS on its konsole. The vueiss driver is successfully installed and activated in weewx. Though i noted a massive clock error with vueiss-driver: --Aug 16 00:32:46 wetterbot2 weewx[21924] INFO weewx.engine: Clock error is -1629066766.19 seconds (positive is fast) compared to simulater driver: --Aug 16 02:10:46 wetterbot2 weewx[1477] INFO weewx.engine: Clock error is -0.22 seconds (positive is fast) Only problem: With the vueiss driver no data is written into the database. no reports. Please see my logs: For wee_debug --info --verbosity=2, see https://pastebin.com/0N3m5cJP For tail -f /var/log/syslog after a restart of weewx service, see https://pastebin.com/67F02BTG Finally I am attaching my install notes, as suggested by the forum guidelines. Looking forward to your hints, best, Loden -----install os----- # sd-card: image 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip # flashed with balena etcher # # file ssh created in /boot # # raspi booted with new sd sudo raspi-config # changes in: # -local # -timezone # -keyboard # -spi # -hostname sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo shutdown -r now -----setup python----- # https://www.techcoil.com/blog/how-to-setup-raspbian-stretch-lite-on-raspberry-pi-3-to-run-python-3-applications/ sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-pip virtualenv pip3 list python -V python3 -V sudo update-alternatives --list python sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.7 2 -----install nginx, mariadb, php7, phpmyadmin----- # https://www.raspifun.de/viewtopic.php?t=24 sudo apt-get install nginx sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client sudo mariadb CREATE USER 'davis'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'davis';
