Unable to Run Weewx

[LanceW]

Let me start by saying that I am new to Python, so please bear with me. After installing python and weewx and following the process that was laid out here: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/weewx-on-windows , I attempted to Run Weewx. I received several errors and they are as follows:

PS C:\Users\weewx> python bin\weewxd weewx.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin\weewxd", line 64, in
weewx.engine.main(options, args)
File "C:\Users\weewx\bin\weewx\engine.py", line 891, in main
engine = engine_class(config_dict)
File "C:\Users\weewx\bin\weewx\engine.py", line 72, in init
self.setupStation(config_dict)
File "C:\Users\weewx\bin\weewx\engine.py", line 90, in setupStation
driver = config_dict[stationType]['driver']
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\configobj.py", line 554, in getitem
val = dict.getitem(self, key)
KeyError: 'unspecified'

Has anyone encountered this before. Thanks in advance.

Check your weewx.conf file and make sure you defined a station_type

Two things.

1. Windows is not a supported platform. There is a branch in the GitHub repository that has been ported to Windows, but it is not updated regularly, nor will its changes be incorporated into the upcoming V4 release.

2. As Vince notes, your copy of weewx.conf has not been configured. Normally, this is done by setup.py, although it can be done either by hand, or by using the utility wee_config. Neither is supported under Windows.

If you must run Windows, you might be able to use a virtual machine running Linux. I use Oracle Virtualbox on my main Windows PC to run Weewx. I use it as a test/dev platform for my main Weewx site on a Raspberry PI. Virtualbox is a free download. 

I would recommend you get a cheap linux box, like a Raspberry Pi ($35-$80) to run Weewx. The lower spec, older, cheaper, ones do it just fine.

Hi,

I don't use windows but I heard there is a windows subsystem for Linux (WSL). 

I wonder if weewx would work in that or is it limited to what i can do?

I use Linux.

I'll take a look at it and define the station and anything else that I can. Thanks

[Lance Wood]

Appreciate all the ideas. This has become much more work that I expected. I already have a website and was hoping to get weewx working to use parts of it.

mountainbase.com is my site just for fun.

It didn't like what I put in for station type, I used "Davis Vantage Pro Plus". Is it looking for something else?

You really need to read the online documentation  before you get REALLY frustrated.   Seems like you're just guessing+hoping at this point.

I am new to WeeWX.  I have a USB connected Davis Vantage Vue.  My goal is to make the weather data available to observatory control software which runs in Windows.  I installed WeeWX under  WSL and found it very easy to do.  It is still early days, but it seems to work just fine.  If there is interest, I can post a simple recipe of what I did.

Regards,

Cliff
