Hi All,
I currently have a GW1000, which works fine, except that my raspyberrypi 
(rpi) periodically loses contact with it.  Of course, when that happens, I 
lose all the data that the GW1000 would otherwise have sent.  While I try 
to debug what's going on with the rpi, I figured I might as well pick up a 
GW3000, since it can have an SD card and allow for catchup when the rpi 
can't get the live data.  I assume (always dangerous!) that this is a valid 
reason for trying to "catch up".  It appears that the ecowitt_http driver 
is ideal for this, since there is the claim that the catch up mode works. 
 However, it also appears that there are two different forks, which may 
have diverged significantly.  One is apparently the original, created by 
Gary and now hosted by Ian Millard.  There doesn't appear to have been any 
development on that version (or rather, there was, but everything has been 
rolled back to Gary's original).  The other is maintained by Werner Krenn, 
and appears to have a *lot* of additional stuff by now, necessitating, I 
believe, a new database schema.  In addition, at least to my humble 
abilities, the installation of Werner's version seems involved, with, eg, 
plugins, and new skins.

(Sorry for the length of this post!)
Bottom line:  does Gary's original version, hosted by Ian work?  Does the 
catch up functionality work?  Or should I bite the bullet and try to figure 
out which of the numerous  schemas and database update scripts I should 
use, and try to get Werner's driver working?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Bob
PS:  I am not a total newb.  I have, in the past, managed to debug a piece 
of MWall's cmon package, so I know a bit of programming and weewx.  It's 
just that I got a little overwhelmed by Werner's structure.
