Hi all Just upgraded my installation as above. The hardware is WeatherDuino emulating the Davis comms protocol. On a previous occasion I had an issue which I think was similar to the errors below and was asked to use an updated engine.py file - which fixed the problem. After the upgrade I had to once again copy over the "new" engine.py to sort out this error. I'm not sure if the fix I was supplied was supposed to be rolled through to the 3.9.1 upgrade? Log below of the error.
