[weewx-user] Hardware discussion: Time to retire my faithful PC-Fit Slim from Compulab :(

2017-02-24 Thread John Canfield
Long time weewx user here, I think I was Tom's first or second beta user (V 0.9). I started using hacked Linksys NSLU2s (aka 'slugs') but the flash memory would get corrupted after a few months. Tom and I hooked up in a forum discussing the then new PC-Fit Slims, a tiny fanless low-power PC whi

works fine (32-bits, of course). The other trick is to install the "server" version, which is much smaller and simpler, with fewer things to go wrong. I'll bet there's still a few years of life left in that box of yours! -tk On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 10:04 AM, John Canfield

weewx v3.6.2 on the new Fitlet, weewx 3.0.1 on the old FIT #1: I've just brought up weewx on another Fitlet (CompuLab fanless) and have it running okay. Poking around I discovered I'm missing Feb 1 to Feb 20 in the monthly summary. I copied over the weewx.sdb from the old FIT to the new Fitle

[weewx-user] Dirty shutdown of my Fitlet, can't pull records from VantagePro2 data logger
