Don't know how to connect to Weather Underground

[dels...@gmail.com]

HI experts,

I have weewx running on my Raspberry pi and it is humming along nicely.  It is updating the internal web page at: file:///home/weewx/public_html/index.html nicely and all seems to be working well.

I have also included the weewx.conf file for your review. and below the syslog as well.

What I need is some kind of step by step instructions to connect and upload data to weather underground.  I have registered my PWS, changed the weewx.conf file, but I cant seem to connect to WU.

That's not the configuration file you're using is it, there is no station_type?

Mine looks like this for a FineOffset station.

    # Set to type of station hardware.  There must be a corresponding stanza

    # in this file with a 'driver' parameter indicating the driver to be used.

    station_type = FineOffsetUSB

Enter your PWS details in the Wunderground section of the configuration file..

    [[Wunderground]]

        # This section is for configuring posts to the Weather Underground

        

        # If you wish to do this, uncomment the following station and password

        # lines and fill them with your station and password:

        #station  = your Weather Underground station ID (eg, KORHOODR3)

        #password = your Weather Underground password

        

        # Set the following to True to have weewx use the WU "Rapidfire"

        # protocol. Not all hardware can support it. See the User's Guide.

        rapidfire = False

        station = Your station ID here

        password = Your WU password here

Then get weewx to reload the configuration file (or even simply reboot the RPi).

This is how I do it:

Reload = /etc/init.d/weewx reload

Or stop and start weewx

/etc/init.d/weewx stop

/etc/init.d/weewx start

If you have never uploaded data, there is a 24 hour delay before
anything is shown.
Perhaps it is all working.

I just realised you filled out the [PWSweather] section of the configuration file and not the [Wunderground] section. 

Now go change your password ;)
