Tex if you want to use the new clean pi4 with weewx v5 it's pretty easy to do the switchover since it isn't really an upgrade....
* stop weewx on the new pi * copy your old database into place on the new pi * if you have a lot of years of data, copy your NOAA files over too to speed up first boot * plug your new pi into the datalogger you currently have working on the old pi * run 'weectl station reconfigure' to switch to the Vantage driver * start weewx on the new pi I'm assuming your are using a Davis serial or usb datalogger above (you didn't say), but basically you want to get everything working vs the simulator (likely with any uploaders to WU or the like commented out) and then switch over. Nice thing if you have a working 'old' pi is that you can always go back to it and weewx should catch up any missed readings from your datalogger.
