[weewx-user] Re: Error upgrading to v5.0

[Marty b]

I was able to figure out how to fix this.  I had to delete the 'six.pyc' 
file in /usr/share/weewx/ .  After doing that, the install was able to 
complete.  Having some other issues now, but will create a new thread for 
them if I can't figure it out...

[weewx-user] Error generating loop-data.txt with 4.6.2

Hello everyone,

My loop-data generation recently stopped working.  Here is a section from 
my syslog that shows the error:

Feb 21 00:35:14 WeeWx2021 weewx[560] INFO user.rtgd: 
'/dev/shm/weewx/gauge-data.txt' wil be generated. min_interval is None

option "minute_label"  in interpolation.
Feb 21 00:35:14 WeeWx2021 weewx[560] INFO __main__: Starting up weewx 
version 4.6.2

Any suggestion on resolving this?

Thanks,
Marty

Thank you for the responses John and Gary.  I have them both running and 
they seem to be working fine together.

Gary - Thank you again for the assistance getting your extension 
operational!

That worked!  Thank you very much.

Is it safe to also install the chaunceygardiner/weewx-loopdata along side 
your loopdata extension?

Thank you again!

What am I doing wrong?

[weewx-user] Re: gjr80/weewx-steelseries update interval

[Marty b]

Thank you.  I will make sure I have the realtime gauge-data extension 
installed and enabled.

How do I disable the generation of the gauge-data.txt by the SteelSeries 
skin?

[weewx-user] gjr80/weewx-steelseries update interval

[Marty b]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure out how to get gauge-data.txt to update each time a 
loop packet is received.  Currently it only updates at the same interval as 
the rest of the weewx files (~every 10 minutes).  I looked at the wiki page 
for extension, but the section for ' Changing how often *gauge-data.txt* is 
generated' says ' To be written.'

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: recommend IP cameras that are easy to grab a single frame from?

[Marty b]

I use the Ubiquiti Cameras which are PoE and they work quite well. 
(Snapshot example URL: http://192.168.1.95/snap.jpeg)

I have a process on a Raspberry Pi that will grab an image every minute and 
saves it to /dev/shm (the ram disk - which saves wear and tear on the SD 
card).  The image can be viewed via a php webpage grabbing the image from 
/dev/shm.  See code below for example:




Hope this helps.
