Thanks Tom. I did see the short section, but thought perhaps there was more 
to it. I'll make the attempt in the future... Thanks.

[weewx-user] Re: Procedure to convert from wview to weewx

[David Trebacz]

Sorry Vince -got distracted on another project. I'm currently using USB. I 
did adjust my VM to be able to see the USB hardware on the physical 
machine, but haven't actually tested it being virtualized yet.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: STOP Receiving Wind Data by Request.

[Ruben Navarro Huedo]

Yes it is what I need with driver but my programming knowing is not
good :(

I did some try without good result.

housing plus the taper might be enough (depending on placement of RF
source).

It would be quite simple to add code to the driver to check for existence
of a file and simply ignore any wind speed packets while the file exists.
It would need to be an option, because it is not particularly efficient,
and I would prefer not to do the check for all users.
You can have other code (external to weewx) that creates and deletes the
file.

[weewx-user] Re: weewx daemon will not run

[Craig Kimble]

Thanks Tom for your help. I can start weewx manually and it has 
successfully logged data for over 10 hours now. After trying to get the 
daemon running, for way too long, I have decided to put it on the back 
burner for a while. Hopefully, as my skill and confidence increase I will 
be able to see my silly error. Again, many thanks for your time.

[weewx-user] Re: STOP Receiving Wind Data by Request.

[Cameron D]

The circuit boards are placed:

   1. level with the mounting tube (perpendicular to the shafts) , and 
   2. extending up until the housing diameter starts to get smaller.

So, basically, shielding the top half of the large diameter section of 
housing plus the taper might be enough (depending on placement of RF 
source).

 Yes
Only anemometer has problems 
I will try shield it ASAP. 

A driver mute could help me also.

If only a mute when a file exists could be done then it could be the solution

[weewx-user] Acurite lightning sensor distance value

[Craig Thom]

It appears that the "distance" value archived is the average of the values 
from each loop packet.  Since that value appears to be whatever the last 
distance was, even if that was a month ago, I don't think this is a useful 
number.  Here's an example:

The value reported at the start of the archive interval is 15.
There are, just for example, twenty packet loops in this interval.
There is a strike with a distance of 1 just before the loop packet.
The archive would then show 1 strike at a distance if 14.3.

I would rather see "distance" be the minimum value for the interval.

An alternative would be to make "distance" be the average for the strikes 
in the interval, but this would require two things:
Only counting the packets in which strikes_total changes, and
weighting the values by the number of strikes per loop packet 
(strikes_total delta).

So, I think I see how to do the minimum.  I could add a column 
"distanceMinimum", add self._mimimums, and write functions 
_calculate_minimum(self, pkt) and _calculate_minimums(label, newtotal, 
oldtotal). 

Would that be the best way?

Average distance per strike looks a lot trickier, since the values in some 
look packets wouldn't count, and the values of some would count more than 
others, and the distance value need not change for it to be useful.

[weewx-user] Re: connect to wireless sensors in addition to a weather station

And, since the antennas for these are monopoles, they will work much better 
when stuck on a piece of metal at least a foot in diameter.
