Hi,
reinstalling the weewx on a Raspberry Pi 1B is not running at all. Following all guide lines for installing weewx on an Debian based linux as well as Matthew Wall´s guide line on Github - it is just not working.
One point I am puzzled is that the driver WH23xx is not presented in the driver menue shown in wee_config. In weewx.con there is not section for WH23xx. Unfortuantely I lost the config file of my older installation.
OS = Raspian OS lite
Python 3.7

Some advice?
Greetings
Harry

I'm using the WH23xx with Python 3, but one has to use a beta version from

Thanks a lot, this saved a lot. Two (minor) issues remained:
1) my Rankforce 2310 is using an+ special kind of USB chip the Raspbian OS binds as /dev/usb/hiddev0 instead of the standard USB /dev/ttyUSB0 or similar. A "port = /dev/ttyUSB0" is necessary.
2) Barometer and Wind speed  / direction shows N/A on the web page. The debug data are correct. - some idea?
   Anyway I keep looking for the solution. I started to convert the python2 to python3 code, but problem is persistent.

After running several hours the fog has clear regarding the two N/A s for pressure and wind speed.
Its working.
