How can I use the VantageConfigurator class?

[Saverio Guzzo]

Hi community,

I'm wondering what is the best way to use the class "VantageConfigurator", defined in the driver/vantage.py.

In particular, I'm interested in knowing what I should do in case I'd like to run the method "VantageConfigurator.setBucketType()".

In my code, I have defined an object "vantage = Vantage()", but how could I run the methods defined within the Configurator class?

Thanks a lot!

Why would you want to, unless you're planning on reinventing wee_device?

If you need a programmatic interface to change the bucket size, call Vantage.setBucketType(). 

But, changing the configuration for the bucket size is very rare. If you don't want to use wee_device to do it, then you can do it through your console.

Hi Tom,

The motivation comes from the fact that I'm managing a fleet of Davis weather station, each one has its own Raspberry Pi where the vantage.py driver program is running as a standalone.

At startup, I want every console to be configured the same way. This is the reason I wanted to learn how to use the VantageConfigurator class!

VantageConfigurator is responsible for converting optparse type commands into appropriate calls to the Vantage API. If you want to go that route, you need to call vantage.configurator_loader() to get an instance of VantageConfiguration(). Then call set_bucket() on that instance. When you're all done, you will have reinvented wee_device.

Or, just call Vantage.setBucketType().
