Thanks to the quickstart info and the very clear and easy to copy
commands I have the simulator mode of 5.2 up and running on a new Pi5
trixie.
Why, I'm not sure, but I was leery with previous info on all the choices
offered and honestly got a bit scared off in trying to implement this.
Russ and Vince told me that the virtual environment was a no brainer and
was not only simple, but it seems this method makes it much more clear
where things go..
THANKS!
After the simulator runs for a few days, I'd like to try adding a new
input station. My only reliable source of input is from a Rainwise,
using the IP-100.
I looked at the github and the driver listed has updates from 10 years
to as few as 6 years, but a lot of water has gone under the bridge since
then. I scanned the Wiki for how to install a driver into 5.2, but
don't see anything specific where the driver code should go, and I doubt
the installation from the github IP-100 knows about virtual drivers and
the two different ways to start and stop WeeWx, etc.
Is there a directory I should put the code into and then add the station
manually to the weewx.conf file? What is the best way to proceed?
Finally, I am running a pi4 with the IP-100 as data source for an old
but very stable install (4.7.0) and I don't want to goof that up.
Question: Can an IP-100 drive two WeeWx installs, one on my reliable
pi4 and experimenting with a live data feed as I tweak my Pi5? Would
there be a collision when by chance they both want to grab data at the
same time? I can set one to get data at 2 second intervals and the
other to three seconds to minimize the chance for simultaneous
requests. I realize this is no likely a very rare problem and no one
may have experience with such a set up.
Thanks again for all the fun and joy this program and support has given
me in the dark cold months up here in the nort' Dale
