It's quite possible you are the first person to try Weewx with a VantagePro.
I know you think there are no errors in the log, but you should still post it. There can be valuable clues in there. Also, run wee_device with the --info option. Without the log, I'm just theorizing, but it's possible the old-fashioned VantagePro does not respond well to the LOOP command, which is what weewx uses to pull data off the logger. -tk On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 9:02 AM, RedShoeRider <[email protected]> wrote: > Good Afternoon, All: > > I have a head-scratcher that despite beating the heck out of Google, I > can't find an answer. > > The Hardware: > Davis Vantage Pro (not the Pro2) running wired to the ISS > Davis Serial Datalogger connection > Dell Desktop box with a serial port > Weewx / SQL database / SofaSkin skin > > The site it feeds: www.plnjweather.com > > > The Problem: > At random times, the ISS connection drops out (an "R" on the display), but > only if I have weewx running.
