Meant to post this to all! Got through the installation process and populated my info in the weewx.conf file. The issue now appears to be one with the serial port selection. Using /dev/ttyS0, the result is a bunch of data being spit out to my screen, which doesn't appear to be where it should go. Using /dev/ttyAMA0 locks up the terminal window! The output from dmesg is: dmesg | grep tty [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: coherent_pool=1M 8250.nr_uarts=1 snd_bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa=0 snd_bcm2835.enable_hdmi=1 smsc95xx.macaddr=DC:A6:32:93:DF:F3 vc_mem.mem_base=0x3ec00000 vc_mem.mem_size=0x40000000 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=6eead863-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles [ 0.000359] printk: console [tty1] enabled [ 1.410360] fe201000.serial: ttyAMA0 at MMIO 0xfe201000 (irq = 34, base_baud = 0) is a PL011 rev2 [ 1.419455] fe215040.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xfe215040 (irq = 36, base_baud = 62500000) is a 16550 [ 3.091117] systemd[1]: Created slice system-getty.slice.
---------- The connection being used is the same from my previous install (original RPi), which uses a MAX3232 IC tied to GPIO pins 8 & 10. Might there be a permissions issue? Not sure where to look for a solution at this point. Another note ... in the previous installation, I found a recommendation that said to purge the hwclock from the system. Is this still applicable? Thank you all!
