Minimum host system requirements - Arduino?

[Jason Nerothin]

I’m trying to figure out if I could fit weewx into a smaller form factor than Pi - something like a Particle.io board.

Could one of our RPi users post back some system stats when weewx is running “full tilt”?

What kind of stats do you want?

You could easily run on a PI Zero. I don't have a particle to compare it against, but it looks like about the same size.

What would you consider full tilt? 

At it's basic functionality weewx will just write LOOP data to a SQLite database. You don't have to have it generate a website or any reports. 

You could have it write to a remote MySQL database, then run your website off that database which reduces the load on the weewx host. 

Or you could have weewx create as many websites/reports as you want and then FTP or SCP them to a remote destination.

In my opinion it all depends on what you're trying to achieve in order to determine full tilt.

Doubt an arduino would meet the python and ram requirements perhaps.

I run weewx and a lot of skins and extensions on a Seagate dockstar under Debian. That's a 128 mb ram version of the original pogoplug so it's lower horsepower than a pi zero and 1/4 the ram if that helps any.
