C84612 with GW1000U gateway

[Tony McConnell]

I am having trouble configuring weewx to grab data from my GW1000U gateway and C84612 weather station. I have installed weewx to an Ubuntu Server (fresh install of ubuntu I might add), installed the driver from this, configured weewx using the same settings as mentioned in "Example: GW1000U" and set the proxy on the GAS to the same address as my server. Not really sure where to go from there because when I run 

sudo weewxd weewx.conf

nothing is displayed on the console. Even tried with -r argument with no luck.

Not sure what I'm missing, any advice?

Thanks

thank you!  your offshore bank accounts have been cleared ;)

but seriously: stop weewx.  in weewx.conf, set debug=1, then start weewx again.

in another shell, tail the log file:

sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog

you should get plenty of information in the log.

Wow, I feel like an idiot. I don't know why I thought running it directly would spit out that debug info. So in the log it threw an error: 

Jan  9 19:30:12 ubuntu-server weewx[5934]: import of driver failed: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'station_serial' (<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>)

Jan  9 19:30:12 ubuntu-server weewx[5934]: engine: Unable to load driver: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'station_serial'

Somewhat confused because the readme for the intercepter driver has this:

station_serial = 7FFFXXXXXXXXXXXX # 16-character registration key

 That how I have it in my config but with my serial number.

Thanks for your super quick reply by the way!

the bug is in the documentation.  the keyword is 'serial', not 'station_serial'

readme has been fixed at commit 77c1e6e

Awesome, all seems to be working.

After changing that keyword, it gave me an error that I assumed was related to a conflict in ports (I have LAMP installed on the server) so I changed the ports on both the proxy in GAS and the config.

Like I said, its working great now.

Thanks for your help!

what's the GAS utility? i'm pretty on this step. need some help.

GAS utility is to change network settings on the bridge device. It was created by LaCrosse specifically for the bridge. Should be able to find the download with a quick Google.
