Clearing the Data Logger?

[Joseph Barrow]

As I've had a very sleepless night thanks to the neighbor's noise, my brain is foggy.

Still, I have a question. I'm running WeeWX 4.2.0 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ connected to an AcuRite 01536 and the nice colorful display I can't remember the name of right now. Still this morning, I stumbled in to see the message 'Data Logger Full - Connect to PC' scrolling merrily along the bottom. I would like to clear this logger, since I had frankly not thought of it until now.

As I don't use Windows for this, but Raspbian Buster, has anyone blazed a trail to do this already? If so, links/suggestions/point me in the right direction? I'm not a programmer, although I have picked up just enough to get into trouble. Thanks in advance.

Happy Halloween (unless you're Harry Potter since something always happens to him then) and may you get full-size Snickers in your Trick or Treat pumpkin.

I have a similar setup. I think you can ignore the message. If you want to clear it there might be a button on the back. Or unplug it and take the batteries out. And reset the clock and units. I just ignore it.

you can ignore the message.

there is no known way to clear the data logger via the usb interface.  that is part of the reason we gave up on making the acurite driver read data from the logger.  the other part is that the logger is so tiny (512K).  on the other hand, the history is the only way to get indoor humidity data.  (take a look at the comments in the acurite.py code)

of course, if you can find some software (windows or otherwise) that *does* clear the logger, then some usb sniffing should tell us how to do it!
