Did someone test Weewx in Raspbian Buster?

[HoracioDos]

Hello.

I would like to know to someone tested weewx Raspbian Buster.

Thanks in advance!

[HoracioDos]

I updated from raspbian stretch to buster while weewx was running and nothing happened. Just the usual reboot at the end.

[Peter Fletcher]

I installed Raspbian Buster from image on a Pi 3B and installed weewx in the normal way - after transferring my config file from the Jessie installation on which I had been running it, everything ran as before.

[Christian Nimmervoll]

Yes, works fine.

Hi, I just recently upgraded to Buster and also weewx 3.9.1.  I'm using the HP1000 driver (contributed by AussieSusan).  All works fine except for the cpu_temp in the cmon skin.  I had to flip the order of an "if-elif" block in cmon.py to get it to work.  I've let Matthew Wall know.  It's probably a change going from Jessie to Buster adding a directory in the /sys tree.  After that change, the system is running very nicely.

[Ian Rich]

I did a fresh install of Buster with weewx 3.92 I am also running the HP1000 driver (contributed by Aussie Susan, which is fantastic btw!) All working OK except the As3935 lightning detector at this stage - work in progress

[Susan Mackay]

Blush!

Hi Susan,

I'm trying to get the HP1000 driver installed and everything I'm trying (following your instructions on github) is failing.

Is this command correct?  "sudo cd sudo python ./bin/wee_extension --install /HP1000 sudo python ./bin/wee_config --reconfigure"

Is it one command or many?  None of them work for me.  I'm tearing my hair out as I'm not a coder and it's CLI is not intuitive to me.

I've also tried downloading the tar.gz file and unzipping it in my raspberry pi but i get "tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully

"

Please help!!

Hi Matt,

I have not tried the driver on anything but Rasbian Stretch and against V3.6.2. (Still on the 'to do' list as is re-writing for Python 3.)

Perhaps Ian Rich can provide some details of what he did as he seems to have this configuration working.

Having said that the "sudo" should be the first part of each command.

Susan

Thanks Susan. I managed to get it working using Ian's suggestions and a bit of trial and error.  It's great by the way!

Could you elaborate a bit more for the sake of others trying to do the same? (Also for me - lets me know what problems others have overcome if/when I come to update the code.)

Susan,

The install instructions seem to be confusing as they stand. (sudo cd sudo python ./bin/wee_extension --install /HP1000 sudo python ./bin/wee_config --reconfigure) and do not work.

I think they should read something like: -

cd ./bin

sudo python wee_extension --install /[path_to]/HP1000-master.zip

sudo python wee_config --reconfigure

This works for me.

Thanks,

Ian

I should have said that I have a setup.py WeeWX installation so you may need to make the instructions more general to cover packaged WeeWX installations (DEB etc) where the location of the WeeWX bin folder maybe different.

Hi Susan,

I added a post about the struggles I faced a few days ago called "

New User Setup issues - Raspberry Pi, Fine Offset HP1000 - weather reports show values being appended/summed

", this gives a potted history of things.

What I did to get it working is contained in one of the replies on that post but essentially:

I'm making progress.  I managed to install the driver using a number of different sources and lots of trial and error.  For anyone else seeing problems, what I did was:

wget -P /var/tmp weewx-hp1000.zip https://github.com/AussieSusan/HP1000/archive/master.zip

cd var/tmp

unzip master.zip

sudo ./wee_extension --install=/var/tmp/HP1000-master/hp1000.tar.gz

sudo ./wee_config --reconfigure

Chose the number next to HP1000 then restarted weewx.

It's fantastic now it's working and I'm hoping to end up with something like Ian has got eventually.

Matt,

You don’t need to unzip. The wee_extension —install process takes care of that as well.

The lack of a 'new line' before the 2nd 'sudo' has something to do with the formatting of the 'markdown' file I created as it is begin displayed in GitHub and my lack of experience in doing these things - sorry.

I'll try to get it sorted out once I work out why that part does not work whereas it does in other places in the same file.

Susan

[Susan Mackay]

Also totally missed the other posting - sorry

Susan

[Matt]

Thanks Susan.  But please don’t feel the need to apologize.  I appreciate your efforts and without people like you the lesser able people like me wouldn’t be able to learn and enjoy these things!

After a bit of trial and error, I've managed to find the incantation that lets Github display the installation lines correctly from the 'readme.md' file.

Hopefully this should stop the problems for others in the future.

Susan

[Matt]

Looks perfect!

Thank you Susan
