Hello, I have connecte my BMP180 direct to the Raspberry PI. After installing with this manual https://github.com/eyesnz/weewx_pi_sensors

weewx didn't start.

It hangs after display that is connected to the weather station.

What can I do to get the BMP180 sensor working?

Thank you!

Regards,

Martin

Martin ... Don't know if this helps but I have that exact sensor hooked up

and working perfectly with weewx. I followed this guy's tutorial to the

letter and didn't have any issues at all.

Scroll down to the bottom of this link to the section where he discusses the BMP180 hookup.

Thank you very much. The site ...oneeyedman....

For my instllation I must change the line 23 in extra_sensors_service.py from

except Exception, e:

to

except Exception as e:

and it works now:

"weewx weewxd: extrasensors: found pressure value of 999.25 mbar"

Is it correct that weewx now uses this value for pressure instead of the connected weather station pressure value?
