Systemctl error

[ALPHA SG]

Good evening,
I'm a new user and I installed weewx version 5 on the rpi .
I have an error when I do systemctl status weewx (start or stop it's the same)
I will post the log i hope is help .
 I don't really know where the problem comes from.
thanks.

Take a look at line 68 in /etc/weewx/weewx.conf. Something is malformed.

I sent a response but it does not appear here, I made a mistake in sending the response to the author :)
but I looked at the file and deleted line 68
[SDR]
    driver = user.sdr
now the error has changed. here is the new error log
thank you.

You have two "[SDR]" stanzas. Only one is allowed. Combine them into one. So, this

[SDR]

    # This section is for the software-defined radio driver.

   

    # The driver to use

    driver = user.sdr

    cmd = rtl_433 -M utc -F json -R 55

# collect data from Acurite-606TX

[SDR]

    driver = user.sdr

[[sensor_map]]

OutTemp = temperature.25.Acurite606TXPacketV2

becomes this

[SDR]

    # This section is for the software-defined radio driver.

   

    # The driver to use

    driver = user.sdr

    cmd = rtl_433 -M utc -F json -R 55

    [[sensor_map]]

        OutTemp = temperature.25.Acurite606TXPacketV2

thx

Impossible to draw any conclusions from such a short excerpt of the log. See the wiki article How to get a good, useful log.

Sorry :/ here is my syslog
do u have another one files  ?

[ALPHA SG]

oopps!!! 

do u want another files ?

[Tom Keffer]

Three things come to mind:

1. Your power supply is inadequate. There are frequent "Undervoltage detected!" errors. Replace it with a higher capacity power supply. Or, use a powered USB hub.

2. The clock is way off. Make sure that you are running some kind of clock that can synchronize with a network clock. 

3. I suspect that your systemd service file is attempting forking, when it should use a "simple" start. Can we see the file /etc/systemd/system/weewx.service?

ok 

1) i have a 5v 2a power supply but I'm going to order an original..
2)what can I do for the clock?

3)here is the weewx.service file.

I am following installation tutorials but some are on the old version of weewx, I am trying to adapt it to the new one. 

I installed the Belchertown skin and the sdr driver that's all for now. 

I'm also looking to repair it on my own by searching on this forum and elsewhere but my knowledge is limited. 

thank you for your help.

[Tom Keffer]

As suspected, it does use "forking". Replace it with this one, then restart weewx. This version will also cause the clock to be synchronized.
