Been searching the forum but, have not been able to find what I am looking for. Is there a basic setup guide or some documentation for setting up WD on Linux, specifically the Raspberry Pi? Step 1 do this, step 2 do this etc. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks!

First step install extra libs
1.1 modify
/etc/apt/sources.listAdd one line to that file, remember to use sudo or use the gui in a root file-manager window
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/udev/libudev-dev_175-7.2_armhf.deb sid mainexecute in a terminal window
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
1.2 install
libhid 1.2.1 download from
http://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30451.
It is placed into your home folder
1.2.2 modify in the downloaded folder
libhid/test/lshid.c line
41Reads now:
len = *((unsigned long*)custom);modify that one line and add the extra two lines:
//len = *((unsigned long*)custom);
len = len;
custom = custom;1.2.3 When you are in that folder in a terminal window
sudo ./configure && make at the end you will get an error 2 in the make part, ignore that
sudo make install this finishes without errors
1.3 install
libusb1.3.1 download from
http://www.libusb.org/1.3.2 in a terminal-window go into that folder and type
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make at the end you will get an error 1, ignore those
sudo make install this finishes without errors
- - - - - - this finishes the first step
Second step, install and test consolewd
2.1 download from
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/consolewdfilespi.zip2.2 unzip the folder
2.3 modify the text file
config.txt in the unzipped folder with your settings
2.4 and copy the consolewdfiles folder to your pi folder on the RaspberryPI
Do not read or use the readme.txt when it is dated in the past.
So do not try to use
sudo ./GoWdconsole.sh 2.3 Set all
rights of the consolewdfiles folder to
777 including all of its its contents
2.4 copy all files from the
consolewdfiles/deploy to the systemfolders
go into the consolewdfiles/deploy folder in your terminal window and type
sudo cp *.so /usr/lib/
sudo cp *.so /usr/local/lib/ 2.6 start consolewd by typing
sudo ./consolewd - - -
errors which may pop up
Missing libhid.so.0In the deploy folder simply copy libhid.so.0.0 to libhid.so.0 and do step 2.4 again
At least this list (got it from Raspi), tested it a few times for writing an instruction in Dutch, works for me.
Succes, Wim
