thank you all for the encouragement and ideas. The gist of the posts is go with the python 2.7 and version 3 of weewx. That is probably the safest since the only 2 statements I know in python 3 are exit() = exit and print = print(). If I find the model 2 RPi unstable I'll go for the newer RPi model 4. I have several model 2 B RPi's. I discovered pi's just as the model 2 was released and went a little over-board with projects and purchases. $35-55 isn't going to kill me for a new pi but I do have a loyalty to raspberry pi and hate to toss good hardware. Good advice about the power supply and SD card-thanks
Again, thanks for the time and expertise to respond. David On Sunday, February 2, 2020 at 9:52:51 AM UTC-5, david glenn wrote: > > I am new to weewx and have very basic linux and python skills.
