In case you switch to the nice gw1000 driver via Ian's link, here's my old
config for my WS85 which is similar to your WS90, as well as the
incantation to test the driver interactively. Be a little forewarned this
was quite a while ago and I decommissioned the ecowitt haptic sensor
because it wasn't too accurate, but the weewx setup did work as I recall.
Your paths vs. the example --test-driver below will vary if you did a dpkg
installation.
