You really do not need to know python or code, but you do need to be able to use a text editor such as nano, and you need to understand the different options which weewx makes available to you and how the different parameters may work - it is all done by editing the .conf parameter files - not b

Hi Marty, as you may have guessed I am out of comfort zone here I know it sounds o so very simple It always is if you know anything about python and code but I don't so many here have tried to help but i am still get lost not sure if I need to put all of the software on sd card or pc then onto sd

If you start out just install Jessie lite and go from there. If ya want I can help via google hangouts chat. Its not very many steps. Just follow the getting started. Deb install. Anyway offers there. Should be logging data within 30mins. Cheers On 26 Jul 2016 06:26, "Rhyl Weather" wrote: Hi Mar

Geoff - you are really over-complicating things. http://www.weewx.com/docs/setup.htm has the instructions for how to install things - make sure you're on the Debian tab (that's what Raspbian for the Pi is based on) - cut+paste the commands in the 'install prerequisites' tab from the

If by extras you mean python-imaging etc then no, it won't matter; at worst you would get messages saying they were already installed. Installing python could cause an issue eg what version is being installed/used? Really, once you get an RPi to a state where you can open a terminal and have in

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Raspberry pi 3 and davis vp2

Hi Gary - got to admit that the bit about loading python had me a little baffled also!! I also cannot actually remember if I HAD to install the extras or not when I got my RPi3 - but I don't think running the commands does any harm if the latest is already installed. Am running raspbian whee

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Raspberry pi 3 and davis vp2

Sorry to intrude but what OS have you installed on the RPi? If you have limited experience I would have expected you would be using Raspbian or NOOBs. Raspbian includes python, no need to download or install it. The only python related code that needs to be downloaded/installed (otehr than weew

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Raspberry pi 3 and davis vp2

1. Make sure you have ALL the dependancies - not just python 2. Print out the quick guide and the user guide 3. Read the guides 4. Follow the guides 5. PAUSE 6. Make sure you can use the command line commands to locate everything (locations are in the guides) 7. Make sure you can use a TEX

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Raspberry pi 3 and davis vp2

have not used the deb install, or the GUI I am afraid - so cannot help very much. Many commands require sudo to be used, and it is likely that when done via the GUI you are asked for your pi password (just guessing) PS - how is sunny Rhyll?? Have flown along the North Wales coastline many

When I went to install weewx it asks for Id and password before it completely installed I think I have sorted that now went back to pi config set password there then went back to weewx and left id as pi and put in password that I sent seem to carry on installing then once it had done just went off

You will have to be more precise than that!! What exactly asked for an id and password?? What command did you give?? On Monday, 25 July 2016 07:40:09 UTC+3, Rhyl Weather wrote: > Hi thanks have installed python now downloaded weewx then it asked for id > and password, I don't remember settin

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Raspberry pi 3 and davis vp2

Geoff I would suggest 1. Start your pi again from the beginning with a fresh debian install 2. I use the setup method, many others use the .deb method - the only difference is in where things get put and what you are comfortable using 3. Get Cumulus out of your head for now!! Cumulus is for wi
