Hi Vince, et al,
Yes, all working well. I was looking at it, from a device permissions
point-of-view. Software weewx, for some reason, no-longer had rights to,
in my case /dev/ttyUSB0 (which has been working for 11 years). Ownership
of the device were set to root:dialout (as are the serial ports). I saw
that weewx was running as user weewx (hmm, don't recall that...). User
weewx was a member of group weewx, so amended the device ownership to:
root:weewx.
Cheers, Jason.
