wxt5x0 v0.7 driver issue

[Stephen Holden]

I just updated my WXT5x0 driver to the latest version as per the README on Matthew's github page, but now the wxt5x0 driver is not listed as an option when I re-configure.

Tried installing it again, but no luck. And the weewx.conf is unchanged so points to the (older) wxt5x0 driver, which it can't find.

Anyone else have issues updating the driver?

Thanks in advance!

No logs.   No transcript of what you did.  No info on your weewx version.  No info on whether you have a 'pip' or dpkg or setup installation.

We can't read minds.  Need more info to even try to help.

Stephen - FWIW on v5 in a test I had no problems adding this driver or seeing it available.  Did the commands in the github page and then "weectl extension list" saw the driver/extension had been installed ok.  Tried the reconfigure and it also appeared in the list (albeit in lower case near the bottom of the list).

Thanks, just wanted to know if anyone else had issues so I could decide whether to spend some time looking at it now. Since you had no issues, I spent 20 minutes and checked everything and then re-installed the drive one more time after downloading and inspecting the driver code.  This time I got a prompt (y/n) during install that I'm 99% sure I didn't see before, not sure why.  

But after re-installing one more time it is working.

I hate those 'suddenly works, not sure why' issues, but don't have time to spend a day re-creating the exact instance (from weekly backup) to figure it out.

Thanks.
