hi Gary
what is strange that i can find no record of weewx attempting to run in the
syslog yes debug is set to 1
normally when you have a problem you can see weewx starting then failing
showing and error message
in my case no reference of weewx trying to start? most strange i have
never seen that before
what i have found
if i uninstalled the GW1000 driver/extension weewx started working again
i have reinstalled GW1000 and ran it as a driver
it works perfectly as a driver but not as an extension
The GW1000 driver is picking up the sensor information from my WS3000
weather station
if the GW1000 driver can see data from my WS3000 there must be some
similarities on how the drivers work
could it just be a conflict between WS3000 driver and GW1000 installed as
an extension.
i have the GW1000 working perfectly configured as a driver and its
reading date from the WS3000 weather station
so it works but
thanks for your help
