Help setting up Weewx with a Oregon LW301 weathetstation.

[John Tore Gaup]

Hi there.

I'm new to Linux and Raspberry pi and can't get this to work. Is there a step by step guide on how to do this ? All from connecting the station to the Raspberry to editing the config file.

There are too many variations of hardware and software for there to be a simple guide to everything. The documentation for weewx is really good and this group can be helpful.

What are you struggling with? If you have a log file, or are getting error messages post them.

If you're getting messages about not having permissions, make sure you use sudo before the command that's giving you the permissions message.

WeeWX expects a certain amount of minimal computer expertise, and even more so there has to be a certain amount of inquisitiveness and initiative by the user.

Did you even 'try' to read the documentation at all ?

Start with http://weewx.com/docs.html and install/run weewx with the built-in Simulator driver.  Get it to generate its demonstration data.  Hook it to a webserver  on the pi so you can see the plots that are generated.   Get your feet wet.

But you're going to have to do some actual work here.  Nobody's going to baby you through the process.  There is some work involved.
