So the visible % is now 26% for both the new and old versions of almanac.py/Moon.py and the new version now lists the phase as Waning Crescent (as does the old version and WU). Phil On Thursday, February 28, 2019 at 11:29:28 AM UTC-5, kutz...@gmail.com wrote: > > Here's an interesting piece

5% is way better than before, no? I would expect occasional buffer errors with this version. The serial port is constantly getting opened and closed. If a new packet comes in at the wrong time, parts of it could get missed. On Thu, Feb 28, 2019 at 10:22 AM Steve2Q wrote: > Tom; at 25 hours top

Here's an interesting piece of data. I'm using Tom's new almanac.py and Moon.py on a testbed version of WeeWX. On my "production" instance of WeeWX, I have the versions of those files originally installed with WeeWX 3.9.1. On my production instance the moon is listed as 29% visible and is

Thanks for your reply, Tom - much appreciated. I have removed the fake clock (pending purchase of a RTC) and made the change to the file in init.d and restarted weewx with a working network and all seems OK, but I guess I won't know fully until the Pi crashes again. David. On Thu, 28 Feb 2019

1. It looks like you're using the WeatherLinkIP logger in your Vantage. These are generally not as reliable as the serial and USB versions and, as you discovered, depend on the network being up before the Vantage is useful. I am not a boot expert, but try this: go into /etc/init.d/weewx and

Many Thanks. 1. I will do as you suggest re separate log files. 3. The cron task was something I had to add after installing the belchertown skin, just to copy some files from one directory to another, on the Rpi, before then using sftp to upload to my website. It seems to work most of the

1. I recommend you put weewx log messages in their own log file - see wiki for a) separate logfile and also logrotation. 2. The ^@ rubbish looks like possible corruption whilst executing a cron task 3. What cron task was it trying to execute 4. I see the clock has gone backwards around the

Thanks. I agree that it is probably the Raspberry Pi, rather than weewx. My syslog file around the relevant time that it stopped working yesterday is as follows. Does anyone have any idea how to interpret this? The "^@" is very puzzling to a linux novice such as me! David. Feb 27 15:30:28

The best tip I can give you is to identify why the site is crashing by looking at the weewx and webserver logs. Weewx should never crash per se. If it encounters an irrecpoverable situation it should restart. If it is not restarting Tom would require, I am pretty sure, to see the log of the
