V 0.20 Test Does Not Work, WeeWX Does #9

Open gary-hammer opened 3 years ago

I have installed and attempted to test. The test fails after about 10 seconds. Shown in file 'driver-error.txt' However, I decided to see if the error was made clear from WeeWX. To my surprise, it runs with no problems as shown in file 'weewx-output.txt

In weewx-output.txt, you will also see 2 sensor map entries, one proper, one blank. Is this an error on my part.

Finally, I took a look at the rtldavis.py I see

'pressure': 'pressure',
'inTemp': 'temp_in',  # temperature of optional BMP280 module
'inHumidity': 'humidity_in',

How does the BMP280 enter the picture? I'd be quite interested in doing so. driver-error.txt weewx-output.txt

WJCarpenter has posted on Gitlab a WeeWX extension that will read a BME280 attached to the I2C Pi GPIO. See https://gitlab.com/wjcarpenter/bme280wx
He stated This interface seems to work correctly for a BMP280 as well, if you happen to have one laying around. The humidity reading will be zero.
