Hi All
A Newbie here.
I have a weather station that lsusb indentifies as a "Dream Link WH1080".
I have 2 compatible display units for it. One works quite happily with weewx and the station is online with it both locally and through wunderground.com....
The second one however crashes, despite seemingly being identical both in appearance and according to lsusb. When using it however, "status weewx" gives the error message...
"weewx.drivers.fousb:unrecognised magic number fcb4"
I'm using the FineOffsetUSB (option 2) driver...
This isn't really an issue because the station is on air, but I'm curious as to why one unit works and the other doesn't..
Question 2
How do I get weewx to display in a skin for a local display ?
In the .conf file "Seasons" is marked as true, the program is running as desired, but the only way I can get as local display is to look directly at the index.html file. As yet, I've not been able to find anything on the web site (and believe me I've looked).

for (2) you have to install a webserver of your choice....

for (1) if you do a google search of 'weewx.drivers.fousb:unrecognised magic number' you will find some hits suggesting you need to power cycle your weather station's console as one possible fix.

Hi Vince
Major face palm.... Rebooting the console did the trick . Some times you get so wrapped up in config files and other debugging you forget about the basics.... :S
Thanks for the reminder ...
