weatherflowpdp timeout

[Glen Briggs]

I have managed to get weewx running, weatherflowudp is installed, but it doesn't appear to gather any data, I changed my ST- to the correct number, and i have tried all three UDP listener settings, but it keeps saying timeout. 

any ideas?

Not without seeing some debug=1 logs. See ‘how to report a problem” in the faq and wiki

it appears to be running now, but i am getting nothing. no webpages, no data, no time outs, it just does nothing

The usual mistake is people putting in their station id (not the sensor id) or removing the leading zeroes in the sensor id. In your case you have it configured to use an air and sky original old station with both having the same id numbers which is impossible.

AR-00091987 and.SK-00091987 are clearly incorrect.

You might to install my wfudptools app via pip and run the listener with the —raw option to tell you your correct sensor id(s). See https://pypi.org/project/wfudptools/ which has a link to the github page for usage examples

[Glen Briggs]

I got it going. Thank you. 

Now to learn how to customize and setup things.

[vince]

And for others who'll run into this, what did you do ?

Did you just need to line up your actual sensor id(s) correctly to match your hardware ?

[Glen Briggs]

To correct the issues, I had to use the correct sensor map (note the new map for tempest) and I had to move the install to a new computer. The old computer I was trying first was not working at all.
