Glad it was you left it off and not me doing a "boy look" as my partner would say 

I think I may have found the first hurdle for me now that I read this again more carefully. Do I understand that this will only work with the Pro2 Plus RX - not the Compact Rx - due to the logger output requirements?

Thanks
Colin

Hello Colin,

the Pro2Plus RX has some additional UART interfaces where the data of the addon is transmitted. Since I do not own a compact receiver I do not know if there are unused UART interfaces.
Maybe Werk can tell us more.
If this is the case, the modification of the add on software should be possible to work with the compact receiver.

regards,

There isn't any free UART on the Compact

Hello f4aii,
it seems that the python module can not be found.
ImportError: No module named WeeWx_WeatherDuino_Logger_plugin_04


Can you check, that the python module is in the right directory. In my Raspbian installation it is like above.

wee_database weewx.conf --reconfigure

I did not put in the right directory, sorry ...
Now, I have this error.

[engolling]

According to the error message WeeWx seems to habe problems reading the .conf file.
The file should be in the following directory:




If it is there, can you provide me your weewx.conf file - please be careful to delete personal data first, in case you have something written in it.
Then I can check if there is a wrong syntax or anything like that.

It looks like I may have to take a slightly different tack on this as I'm only using the compact RX. My thought is to sniff the data using perhaps the Weewx-sdr driver or build something similar of my own. I also have some solar charging data that I'd like to capture, so again I am thinking I can get the data capture Arduino to send that out and capture it into Weewx.

I'll keep you posted
