OK - 1. try and run directly, not as a daemon 2. try and edit weewx.conf using nano rather than vi what happens??

[weewx-user] WX200 updated driver
Good day to all. I am trying to use Weewx with an old WX200 with wired sensors. I have found some information from old threads here, but an old driver which I could find as "wmr9x8.py" is not working with current version of weewx. Does any one has a working driver which I can use? If so please post it on sv1iwraag.org or through the forum for the benefit of others too.
