[weewx-user] FInally updated to Weewx 5.1

I updated my weewx 4.10 to 5.1 and everything went smoothly except for one hiccup, not the fault with weeewx. I moved the Vantage View console to a new computer and changed the console's batteries without the console being powered. The sqlite data base stopped being updated once the new batteri

I am in the process of updating my weewx computer and decided to give weewx 5 a try. It installed easily enough and my custom skin is working well with the simulator. In all the years I have been running weewx 4 I have never had a problem retrieving data from the vantage station over USB. It

This morning we had a very unusual occurrence here at Ocean Beach San Francisco. The wind speed dropped to 0 mph for a short period. This resulted in the value of *$currentwindDir.formatted* being set to *N/A* upsetting my wind gauge javascript which expects a numerical value. Do I need to add

I would like to add the San Francisco Ocean temperature to my weewx site. I found a couple pay for this free data we got from NOAA, but I am too retired and too cheap to be taken by that grift. I think the data would be very helpful to those hardy souls performing all sorts of water/wind sports

Hi all! I ran my Davis Vantage VU on wview for many years. Due to living across the street from the ocean, the Davis finally did rust out. I decided to revive the station after 5 years of downtime when I found you can get all new guts for the vantage vu for under $100.00 dollars. Here is my weew
