Everything looks normal to me. The log shows a post to CW8738:

Jan 4 13:50:18 raspberrypi weewx[11987] INFO weewx.restx: CWOP: Published record 2021-01-04 13:50:00 PST (1609797000)

After that, you did a keyboard interrupt, but the log stops before the next reporting cycle.

Taking a look at findu, your packets are also showing up regularly: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=CW8738

What are you seeing that causes concern?

A couple months ago I moved my weather station to run on a Raspberry pi, and things have been running smoothly with the exception of the data that gets uploaded to CWOP.

I upload data to cwop, wunderground, pwsweather, and my own weather site. The only one missing the data is cwop.

I'm running weewx version 4.0.0b9 on python Python 2.7.16 with a vantage vue weather station.

I've attached below the cwop data, loop data, and syslog.

Thanks in advance for any help.

My raw data for cwop has a b..... for the barometric data.

It's not uploading the barometric pressure.

Looking at the code, it's supposed to calculate the 'altimeter' value from 'barometer'. However it's not doing that. Altimeter is set to None, so when it uploads to CWOP, it skipps the barometer reading, with 'b.....'.

I did experiment around with restx.py and set that to just use the barometer if altimeter is none.

Just not sure why it's not calculating the altimeter.

I apologize for the duplicate messages. This was the first one I posted, and tried to delete earlier. There's another post I made that has more detailed info.

That b makes me think it's a string/byte python2 vs python 3 issue. I have no evidence to back that up...

That's the string that restx.py is setting it to if the altimeter value is None before it feeds it to CWOP.

I had been using some VERY old code prior to updating to run on the raspberry pi, so I'm not surprised there is something broken.

Just debugging my way through the python till I figure out some more details. Right now I'm leaning towards something in uwxutils.py.

Just to be clear, I'm assuming it's something in my configuration or implementation that is causing this, not necessarily any bugs in weewx.

I'm thinking it has something to do with wxservices.py.

At around line 558, there's this code for calculating 'altimeter'. I do not have a value for 'pressure' in the record. I have 'barometer', which I'm assuming is '
Sensor Pressure' from reading some of the comments in the python code.

def altimeter(self, record):

"""Calculate the observation type 'altimeter'."""

log.info("VANTAGE DEBUG: calc altimeter: %s","altimeter")

log.info("VANTAGE DEBUG: calc altimeter record: %s",record)

if 'pressure' not in record:

raise weewx.CannotCalculate('altimeter')

And as I keep search, I see that it can calculate pressure from what it has, but that is not in the record. So seems like it shoudl be calculating and adding pressure to the record before the altimeter, but...

Getting a bit out of my depth here. I can trace through the code a bit on the pi, but getting a bit lost on the details of the code.

Think I figured it out.

Calculating the altimeter depends on pressure being calculated, but the list of calculations had pressure in alphabetical order.

I moved pressure in the calculations section before altimeter and my problem appears to be solved.

wxservices.py line 46

[[Calculations]]

pressure = prefer_hardware

altimeter = prefer_hardware

appTemp = prefer_hardware

barometer = prefer_hardware

beaufort = prefer_hardware

Yes, pressure needs to be listed before the other pressures, order matters in this case. I thought of that but the wee_debug output you provided in the other thread showed pressure was first so I did not bother. No matter, I guess it's fixed now.

The issue is that it's looping over the calculations in that order in the wxservices.py source code, and not the order from the weewx.conf.

I had to edit the order in the wxservices.py code in order to get things to work right.

I did add it as an issue in the github repository.

Ah, didn't notice that. the other thing is you appear to be running a late beta of a version about four versions ago. Plus there has been quite a few changes to StdWXCalculate over the last few releases. You may find that the issue has been resolved (deliberately or unintentionally) in one of those releases.

I don't have access to 4.0.0b9 but I will take a browse through some of his close friends and see if I can't spot a problem.

OK, found 4.0.0b9, yes indeed altimeter was before pressure. Plus when you look back at the initial log extract provided you can see the evidence:

b10 was the same but b11 onwards was fixed and as I said later releases have changed in this area significantly.

Sure this was an issue for 4.0.0b9 but I don't believe it is an issue for 4.0.0b11 and any subsequent releases. Easiest solution is to upgrade.
