WeeWX with AcuRite 06006 display on Windows?

[Matthew Despain]

Has anybody successfully set up WeeWX on windows retrieving data from a USB connected AcuRite 06006 Display?

I've managed to get WeeWX installed and running(?) but that's about it. I have no idea what to do in order to get it to actually collect and display data.

Well.  How interesting.  I posted about that specific model couple days ago.  At least you get something.  I don't on Openbsd and python 3.

It took me about 3 hours of running it, reading the logs, and running it again to get it to this point. I'm about to give up on it.

[Tom Keffer]

I'm impressed you got that far.

Two suggestions:

1. If you want to try this, at least use V4.x. It has been ported to Python 3, and it does not use Linux system logs.

2. Or, consider buying the oldest, cheapest Raspberry Pi you can find and be done with it. Probably less than $50. The results will be more reliable, and will be supported.
