Re: [weewx-user] Weewx unable to Activate consol

First step is to make sure you have connectivity with your VP2. See the section Establishing connectivity in the wiki. What to do next will depend on the results.

First off I am totally new to the Raspberry pi and weewx world. So I would appreciate any and all help I can get.

First off the way I have my system set up is a Raspberry pi 4 that boots off a 1tb ssd. The weather station is the Davis Vantage pro 2 weather station with the serial data logger running to a usb to data adapter. (I don't have a powered USB gateway and that might be part of the issue but I'm not sure.) I've tried installing Weewx using the debian-based systems as found on the weewx website. I received the following error when trying to check the pi logs using: sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
