[weewx-user] Elevation reports incorrectly on webpage

[gjr80]

Hi,

The clue is in the config file comment for the altitude setting:

# Altitude of the station, with unit it is in. This is downloaded from
# from the station if the hardware supports it.

Your station supports a hardware altitude setting and that is likely overriding 
your weewx.conf altitude setting. Did you set altitude in the console when you 
setup your station? You can manually set the altitude through the console setup 
routine (ie pushing buttons) or you can use the WeeWX wee_device utility 
(http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_notes). If you do use wee_device 
make sure you stop WeeWX first.

[weewx-user] Elevation reports incorrectly on webpage

[David Barto]

I've got Weewx up and running (http://www.kdbarto.org/weather/Current.htm) 
and it all looks fine except the elevation.

The configuration shows

altitude = 850, foot # choose 'foot' or 'meter' for unit

The website shows
Altitude 0 feet
Anyone care to point out what I've done wrong?

Searching the discussion group got me past the other setup issues for MacOS 
and I'm up and it looks good.

I did the following (maybe one of these was the problem)

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
sudo -H python ./get-pip.py
sudo -H pip install pysqlite
sudo -H pip install configobj
sudo -H pip install Cheetah --ignore-installed
sudo -H pip install Pillow
sudo -H pip install pyserial
sudo -H pip install pyusb
sudo -H pip install pyephem

altitude = 850, foot# Choose 'foot' or 'meter' for unit

# Set to type of station hardware. There must be a corresponding stanza

used.
station_type = Vantage
