Trying to setup AcuRite 01536 on mac os mojave

[Jim Cyr]

Hey folks, just need a little guidance on a couple of things.

I'm using an AcuRite 01536 5 in 1, connect to a mac mini running a fresh install of mojave 10.14.6. I've install everything fresh as per the directions.

In the conf file, is this the right value, or should I use another for the model parameter?

[AcuRite]

    # This section is for AcuRite weather stations.

    

    # The station model, e.g., 'AcuRite 01025' or 'AcuRite 02032C'

    model = AcuRite 01536

    

    # The driver to use:

    driver = weewx.drivers.acurite

Running through the install notes for mac os and got the error re: missing USB backend, I then added the libusb package and now I get this error message. Any tips? I'm using UnderTheWx mac app and it does connect so I know at least the sensor and display are working properly. It is connected directed to the mac mini (not using a usb hub)

Running python 2.7.16

libusb 1.0.23
