i have an issue where windDir values are not being included in archive records. i can see that the windDir values are being received by weewx loop packets. i can run weewxd and see the windDir values in the loop packets and then a value of "None" in the archive records.

i am using software record generation.

why are the values not included in the archive records?

Can you post some of your loop and rec records from weewxd?

Any errors in syslog?

See if the documentation answers your question: http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#zero_windspeed

after reading the weewx code i discovered that how the wind values are presented in the loop packets matters. i was creating separate loop packets for windspeed and winddir, which i think caused weewx to believe that the speed is zero when processing the winddir. i changed my driver to deliver a single loop packet that includes both windSpeed and windDir. this seems to have resolved the issue as i now see windDir values in my archive records.

Thanks for bringing this up. I've been busy troubleshooting this issue with my stations. I should have RTFM'd.
I've added ignore_zero_wind = False, we'll see how it looks tomorrow.
