I see this in the log while trying to start weewx... sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start

Weewx can't talk to your console for some reason.  I'd reseat your connections if you have a physical connection to the console via usb or serial.

There are 'lots' of previous threads on this if you google for " vantage: No <ACK> received from console"
