I was running my Acurite station on an ODroid N2 and have switched to a
Raspberry Pi 5. The ODroid was running 5.1.0 on Ubuntu Lite. It worked
fine on the ODroid (for years) and I can't get it working on the Pi 5.
I installed weewx 5.1.0 fresh on the Pi 5, following the weewx instructions
for debian. I moved my config file and sqlite database from the old system
to the new system.
It appears that weewx can't find the station on the Pi 5 -- I see this in
the log:
DEBUG weewx.drivers.acurite: Found station at bus= device=
I assume there should be values after the = signs. lsusb shows:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 24c0:0003 Chaney Instrument Model 01036 weather
center
and raspinfo reports:
/: Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci-hcd/2p, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=, 1.5M
|__ Port 2: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid,
1.5M
I see this in dmesg output:
[ 0.969754] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=24c0,
idProduct=0003, bcdDevice= 0.20
[ 0.969758] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0
[ 0.969760] usb 3-1: Product: Chaney Instrument
[ 0.984789] usbhid 3-1:1.0: can't add hid device: -22
[ 0.989868] usbhid 3-1:1.0: probe with driver usbhid failed with error
-22
The model of the Acurite device is ostensibly 01536. Since the lsusb
output shows 01036, I also tried setting that in the config with no
difference. I have tried multiple USB ports.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. More details appended at the end.
Thank you.

It is running Raspbian bookworm and is up to date as of today.
