I am running WeeWx on a Raspi 3B+ running Buster; Weewx version 4.3.0.  I am trying to convert from a Davis Vantage Pro to a Tempest.  I am using capitan-coredump/weatherflow-udp.  I have installed the driver, pointed to the new driver and added the WeatherFlowUDP section.  When I restart the daemon, I get a value error in __init__ on the line 

   self.altitude_vt = weewx.units.ValueTuple(float(altitude_t[0]), altitude_t[1], "group_altitude")

The string it is trying to unpack is '5662 foot'.  I can't find where the 'foot' comes from - it isn't in any of the configurations I can find (5662 is our approximate altitude).  

Suggestions on where to look?

You probably forgot the comma in weewx.conf where you set the altitude of your station

Interesting, this was not in an area I modified, so the error existed for the Vantage.  Maybe since the Vantage supplied an altitude?  Regardless, that was it.  Thanks!
