are you running the correct version
i.e what type of raspberry pi
1, 2 or 3 model
and so which version of consolewd have you downloaded and tried to run
Just downloaded the WD display for Linux GUI 64 but it file format is not recognised by my pi… /home/pi/Downloads/weatherdisplay.tar.gz - Archive format is not recognised…weird as it had no problem downloading and installing WD for Linux console 64 bit???
I presume that the only way one can check if the setup is working (for the console version) is by looking at what it FTP’s to your website?..as there is no GUI…is this correct?
that should work
(it works for others)
(after you copy the files in the deploy folder to /usr/local/ and /usr/lib/)
and then run it as
sudo ./consolewd
Yes, that does work…I have not attached the ENVOY yet…but, as I am used to the GUI version, when I attache the ENVOY, how will I be able to read the output?
so it does run now?
the weather data is shown in the terminal output
and you can get it to produce a web page, clientraw,customclientraw, etc, so you can view the data in a browser window
and there is also a gui simple client program (uses the clientraw.txt) that you can run…double click on that executable file, wdpi
Have consolewd running on my PI3, one little remark though, just follow the instructions in the readme.txt, now i am just wondering how to get the cronjob working…Anybody?
