Re: [weewx-user] Re: Install user.byows_rpi driver?

[Jan Bennett]

I'm happy to help in any way I can. My knowledge is severely lacking. I 
left the world of computers and programming nearly a decade ago before I 
ever really understood what I was doing. Within the last month, I got a 
wild hair when I came across a sizeable stash of a bunch of my old hardware 
from perpetually abandoned projects and now I'm running with just learning 
what I can without any real formal knowledge. I hope my ignorance doesn't 
cause too much work on others' part. I am grateful for any solutions that 
may come of this!

When I run the original version, with edits for my ground temp and wind 
vane values, I get the following error:

import weewx.drivers
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'weewx'

 Hey all - 

 I am trying to install the driver for the Build Your Own Weather

 I have updated weewx-config to include BYOWS. I also have the

 However, I cannot seem to get the driver to show up under the 
 drivers list when I try 'wee_config --list-drivers'.  I show 
 byows_rpi.py 
 under /usr/share/weewx/user/

 I have tried 'sudo wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.byows_rpi

 I feel like I've missed a step somewhere about how to actually get 
 the system to recognize the driver.

[Jan Bennett]

Woohoo! I am now at least uploading to WeatherUnderground successfully with 
my station.

This was one of my goals for sure.

WeeWX is running, according to the logs, and according to my data now 
showing up online. However, when I go to localhost/weewx/ the webpage still 
hasn't updated from when I initially started messing with this (back on 
7/1). 

SO, it appears the driver works for the BYOWS, but my full install is not 
working yet. I'm off to troubleshoot this new issue. Thank you so much for 
writing the installer!

[Tom Keffer]

Ah! The advantages of cutting and pasting over a summarization. You were
having a PYTHONPATH problem.

Sounds like you got things working by using the "python -m user.byows_rpi"
method.

The other method should also work with an explicit PYTHONPATH. Something
like

*PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/byows_rpi.py*

No matter. You got it working.

As for the TypeError exception: now you're deep into the driver and I have
no experience with it. You'll have to ask the author.

 Tom:

 I can give it a look. Right now I am trying to get the install.py file 
 working to install the driver properly with the correct statements in 
 weewx.conf. Once I have that working, I can take a look at the logging.

 One challenge is that I do not have a BME280, so I am probably going to 
 have to stub out those function calls to see if the solution will work in 
 principle.

 hopefully Jan will help us out and verify the driver is working.

 It is correct that byows_rpi extension 
  is mostly just a python 
 file (byows_rpi.py) saved to /usr/share/weewx/user/

 I have followed the directions at the git repository and have 
 verified with Change Driver 
  that I've done 
 the appropriate things to weewx.conf as well.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Install user.byows_rpi driver?

[Tom Keffer]

Hmmm that's odd. What do you get if you do this:

*grep weewx /usr/share/weewx/user/byows_rpi.py*


and when you do this:

*cd /usr/share/weewx*
*python ./user/byows_rpi.py*


Please don't summarize. Cut and paste the text from the terminal.

 Tom:

 I can give it a look. Right now I am trying to get the install.py file
 working to install the driver properly with the correct statements in
 weewx.conf. Once I have that working, I can take a look at the logging.

 One challenge is that I do not have a BME280, so I am probably going to
 have to stub out those function calls to see if the solution will work in
 principle.

 hopefully Jan will help us out and verify the driver is working.

[Tom Keffer]

Jan, perhaps you missed my earlier message, but your version of
byows_rpi.py has been altered --- it's missing an import statement.

You need to download a fresh copy from the repository. You can find it here
.

I am quite inexperienced at this and am excited to try and learn a bit 
more. I am happy to test with my set-up.

When I run byows.rpi.py I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Install user.byows_rpi driver?

[Tom Keffer]

Your version has been altered --- it's missing an import statement.

Here's the original version
.
You can give it a try.

Doug: If you're going to work on the driver, perhaps you can port it to
WeeWX V4? In particular, it uses the old-style "syslog", instead of the new
style "logging ".

 2. As for running byows_pi directly, you have a slight problem with
 your paths. Try either this

 cd /usr/share/weewx
 python user/byows_rpi.py


 or this

 cd /usr/share/weewx
 python -m user.byows_rpi

 It is correct that byows_rpi extension
  is mostly just a python file
 (byows_rpi.py) saved to /usr/share/weewx/user/

 I have followed the directions at the git repository and have verified
 with Change Driver 
 that I've done the appropriate things to weewx.conf as well.

 When I run either of the commands you listed I receive the same error
 as before:

 class ByowsRpi(weewx.drivers.AbstractDevice)
 NameError: name 'weewx' is not defined

I am not familiar with how to do all of that just yet but I will definitely

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Install user.byows_rpi driver?

[Jan Bennett]

I have attached the byows_rpi.py file that I am using currently. Some of
the values haven't been changed for my equipment just yet. I need to add
the ground temp serial number and some additional wind vane values.

Many thanks for your time and energy here!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Install user.byows_rpi driver?

[Doug Jenkins]

To add to this thread Jan, could you fork this repo and send a link? I am
starting some work on a few enhancements to the wee_extensions and I can
create the proper packaging that weewx expects so that future users of the
driver can install it properly.

I would fork the repo, but I do not have a BME280 sensor to properly test
the driver.

If it all works, you can send a pull request to the original author and
have it merged.

 Hey all -

 I am trying to install the driver for the Build Your Own Weather
 Station using Raspberry pi (byows_rpi.py)

 I have updated weewx-config to include BYOWS. I also have the
 interceptor driver installed.

 However, I cannot seem to get the driver to show up under the drivers
 list when I try 'wee_config --list-drivers'.  I show byows_rpi.py under
 /usr/share/weewx/user/

 I have tried 'sudo wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.byows_rpi
 --no-promt' to no avail.

 I feel like I've missed a step somewhere about how to actually get the
 system to recognize the driver.

 When I try to run the byows_rpi.py via command line from within the
 /usr/share/weewx/user/ folder: 'python3 byows_rpi.py' I see the following
 error:

 class ByowsRpi(weewx.drivers.AbstractDevice)
 NameError: name 'weewx' is not defined

 Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Install user.byows_rpi driver?

[Jan Bennett]

Thank you for your time in responding.

It is correct that byows_rpi extension 
 is mostly just a python file 
(byows_rpi.py) saved to /usr/share/weewx/user/

I have followed the directions at the git repository and have verified with 
Change 
Driver  that I've done 
the appropriate things to weewx.conf as well.

When I run either of the commands you listed I receive the same error as 
before:

class ByowsRpi(weewx.drivers.AbstractDevice)
NameError: name 'weewx' is not defined

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Install user.byows_rpi driver?

[Tom Keffer]

1, It looks like the byows_pi extension does not use the extension
installer, so weewx has no way of knowing of its existence. This is why it
doesn't show up in the list of available drivers.

2. As for running byows_pi directly, you have a slight problem with your
paths. Try either this

cd /usr/share/weewx
python user/byows_rpi.py


or this

cd /usr/share/weewx
python -m user.byows_rpi


-tk

[weewx-user] Re: Install user.byows_rpi driver?

[Jan Bennett]

I should also note that when I 'sudo wee_config --reconfigure 
--driver=user.byows_rpi --no-prompt' I see the following:

Using configuration file /home/weewx/weewx.conf
Driver user.byows_rpi  failed to load: name 'weewx' is not defined
