I am trying to help a newbie pi user to get his weather station (a WH1081) to work using Consolewd with his Pi. It currently works OK on a windows machine using the GUI version but he wants to use the Pi for reasons of noise, power usage, something to do with a Pi.

So far I have managed to follow the instructions here: http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index.php/topic,59307.0.html?PHPSESSID=sua3...

(That may have wrapped onto two lines)

Including the rather obvious error near the end when copying the lib files.

So it works. It reports the data from his station every minute.

But it goes wrong after 5 mins. That is when it tries to upload the data to wunderground.com It says it's uploaded the data but we don't see it.

Even worse it then spawns a second child so we have 2 copies of Consolewd running and they interfere with each other when reading the weather station data..

After 5 more mins we have 4 copies After 5 more mins we have 8 copies ... etc. etc.

Is there any one here who has practical experience of using this software on a Pi who could perhaps shed some light on the problems.

Thanks
