How to get weectl station reconfigure to target a multistation config file

[Dale]

I have a Peet Ultimeter 2100 with a Weather Picture.

I'd like to see if I can add it to my RaspPi5 running Weewx in the Venv mode, as another config file.

I currently have weewx.conf, ip100.conf and twi.conf in the weewx-data folder.

All start and run and write to their appropriate databases and also to the public_html folder.

I have created another .conf file, peet.conf and want to modify the file to point to the correct station and also set up the expected details for the driver (usb port etc.)

the instructions for the weectl station reconigure which I can find will target the weewx.conf file, which is running another station.

Is there an extended command line to allow me to have it modify the peet.conf file?

Alternatively, I can find instructions for looking at the fileparse.py as an example, located in examples.

Looking for a ultimeter.py file, I find none on on my system.  There is a reference to :"Another good example is the simulator code located in weewx/drivers/simulator.py. It's dirt simple, and you can easily play with it."

Again, I cannot find that folder (weewx/drivers where the simulator.py file is to supposed to be found.

The problem I seem to be having is locating the drivers that seem to be prepackaged with  WeeWx.

I was hoping if I could find the ultimeter.py file I could move it into the bin/user folder and then examine what it needs to properly configure it for the peet.conf file.

Is there any guidance as to either let weectl station reconfigure target a modified .conf file in the  multi-station mode or where to find the ultimeter driver?   It doesn't appear to be on github that I can find.

Thanks   Dale

Yes.  As always the documentation will set you free.  Please check there first always. That's why hundreds of hours were spent writing and testing the Guides and Wiki and FAQ.

• Check out the Utilities Guide and the 'weectl' command and you will see a --config option that you can use to point you to any particular config file you specify.
• you can query the package to find the drivers - try "dpkg -L weewx | grep -i driver" 
• alternately the 'where to find things' in the Users Guide would have gotten you there - it's under the category 'executables' which might not be too obvious perhaps

Thanks,

I thought I had looked but apparently missed the links you are referring to.

I wanted to avoid asking by trying to be thorough and indeed learned A
LOT by looking about.

I will now explore those additional items you pointed to, with thanks.
