G'day Gary! Its been a while. As you know I was having a memory leak problem which seems to be coming from the driver used with my Ultimeter. Although the memory still increases, it is much less using an old version rather than the one included with the Weewx update. Anyway, in trying to track things down, I uninstalled Steel Gauges and RTGD. I spent several hours yesterday getting them to work, but I found the help included in the rtgd.py file very useful, so thank you. I think you may have to remove the ability to use the Wundeground API, however. Mine no longer works, and the WU website states that they no longer support personal weather station API's (which I think is a terrible corporate decision..we supply a lot of their data). I signed up for DarkSky and they allow free use of an API as long as no more than 1000 requests/day are made. I am now watching memory growth, and my next experiment may be (I saw how to do this somewhere on the net) to put in some code which will stop/start Weewx when the memory use exceeds some user defined level. More fun!
Oh, as part of the re installation of the Gauges, I commented out the Steel Gauges section in weewx.conf, and everything seems to be working just fine. Any reason to un-comment it?
