WeeWX on Raspberry Pi Pico and MicroPython

[garrya...@gmail.com]

With apologies if there is already a thread about this but will WeeWX run on a Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython?

If no one has actually tried it, and the consensus is that it might/should work, I might give it a try and report back.

Regards,

Garry

For starters - what kind of station do you have and how would you interface it with a pico ?

But I'd be a bit surprised if it met the python prerequisites for weewx, specifically the imaging libraries and Cheetah.

Highly unlikely! Even if the weewx code and its associated libraries do not use Python functionalities that MicroPython doesn't support, and you can deal with the interfacing, there probably isn't enough memory space to fit the interpreter and all the code and libraries on the device, especially not while leaving room to store any saved data.

I would be surprised if it works. It has, what, 2MB of memory? I don't know what the minimum needed would be, but I suspect it's closer to 100MB.
