Setting up weewx - AcuRite under OpenBSD.

[Mario St-Gelais]

Good day list.  First time here.

I realize that according to the booklet, my model is 06006 and that is is not listed as supported device.  But I don't think that this is really the problem.

Running the driver directly as root (non root is even worse):

=========================================
