Weewx unable to recognize hardware (vantage.py) error (Vantage Vue)

[Lodewyk Jansen]

Hi all and thank you for everyone's reply's in advance. 

First off - i have a Raspberry Pi Model 3B+ with USB Davis Vantage Vue and Weewx is installed through python.

Initially Weewx worked and there were no erros. However since then i might have deleted something or done something wrong to cause the errors.

Also attached is the system log file for reference...

Anyone that can point me into the right direction to get weeewx to run without erros? 

Regards,

Somehow, you ended up with an old copy of the Vantage driver (v3.9.2 or earlier) in a modern copy of WeeWX. This old version was not ported to Python 3, so the Python 3 interpreter you are using is complaining.

Try reinstalling WeeWX.

Hi Thanks, Tom - I did an uninstall and reinstall but still didn't work so I formated the SD and started from scratch - all works again.

Technology hey it does what it does.
