Weewx not starting up

[Neil Vass]

sorry noob here!

I have a fresh Raspberry Pi4b with a fresh install of Full Buster. The only additions being xrdp and tightvncserver for headless operation along with rtl_sdr driver. I have a RTL2832 USB dongle and have used it to confirm receiving data from my Misol WH2950 weather station successfully.

However, when I install Weewx it fails to start with the following errors. 

Feb  6 13:46:08 raspberrypi weewx[1910] CRITICAL weewx.engine:     ****      self.console = loader_function(config_dict, self)

Feb  6 13:46:08 raspberrypi weewx[1910] CRITICAL weewx.engine:     ****    File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/drivers/fousb.py", line 233, in loader

Feb  6 13:46:08 raspberrypi weewx[1910] CRITICAL __main__:     ****  Exiting...

I have spend a whole day searching for info on it so far and have no idea why its not starting although it looks to me as if its not finding the USB dongle for some reason.

Please can someone point me in the right direction!

Thanks

It appears that you are using the Fine Offset (fousb) driver, not the sdr driver. Try switching drivers.
