Hi all, 

I'm trying to migrate my WeeWX RPi server to a Ubuntu 16 server and I'm getting these errors. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting. 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/share/weewx/weewxd", line 261, in <module>

    main()

  File "/usr/share/weewx/weewxd", line 154, in main

    engine.run()

  File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/engine.py", line 188, in run

    for packet in self.console.genLoopPackets():

  File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/drivers/ultimeter.py", line 131, in genLoopPackets

    data = Station.parse_readings(readings)

  File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/drivers/ultimeter.py", line 298, in parse_readings

    data['windSpeed'] = Station._decode(buf[0:4], 0.1 * MILE_PER_KM)  # mph

  File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/drivers/ultimeter.py", line 326, in _decode

    v = int(s, 16)

TypeError: int() can't convert non-string with explicit base



Any help will be appreciate.

Thanks,

Frank.

I used the apt-get installation method.

Hello, Francisco

1. Are you using Python 2 or Python 3?

2. Can you replace your copy of /usr/share/weewx/weewx/drivers/ultimeter.py with the attached? It will tell us what is causing the TypeError.

Hi Tom,

I'm using Python 2, that I think its the correct for Ubuntu 16?

I replaced the ultimeter.py and below are the log entries;

Thanks, but I need to see farther up the log. You posted just the very end of the error.

I believe I've found the problem. Try this version.

Hi Tom,

Yes, the latest driver file fixed the errors and I'm up and running! 

Thanks for your help / work.

Francisco, could you do me a favor and test this version. It is slightly more efficient.

Replaced file / restarted service and its up and running! Should I look for something in particular to test or just code optimization?

Just wanted to make sure it still works! I don't have access to an Ultimeter.

If you've got the configuration set up, a test under Python 3 would also be welcome.
