@peter I kinda got it working… until it didn’t. All was going fine till the _5. Download the PiConsole:_ got a bunch of syntax type errors. I understood what you were trying to do and broke out the commands separately, and got it downloaded and extracted. Got past the setup questions for my unit.

OK. The download went fine, however missing the mkdir wfpiconsole, and cd wfpiconsole - ``` so once I did that manually -- it worked perfectly... ``` Yes, internet is fine as the download happened in seconds. I also as a test, turned off my firewall. Still the same issue. EDIT: also to confirm internet – the forecast comes it fine as well… ? ---

@peter I wanted to confirm, so as NOT overlooking something that may be a point of confusion. I Found and installed Miniconda from a download I had found on my PC - Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86\_64. didn’t know what version it was/is so from command line … ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/b/b4e1a4dbc93713987c9668091f330aa94b03da89.png) were all those instructions for version 3.8 ? EDIT: Nevermind – I went back and uninstalled 3.7 - installed a fresh download of 3.8 – went through the installation again, and it does the same thing. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/a/a2368e49d0be5acf4362db0b1dc011cabd3ea53f.png) EDIT: not sure if it matters but this is the build info of Windows 10 Pro - is/was suppose to be 20H ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/4/412e514d559a20a7ed70d268863791cc102b2ba6.png) ---

I really don’t know what is going on here. I wiped miniconda off my machine completely, installed a fresh download of 3.8, went through the installation and everything is working fine. The conda version is 4.9.2 and the Python version is 3.7.10 ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/0/0e91c57ca90895c06dceca02763d1ed5f4995271.png) If you are happy too, can you share the Personal Access Token you are using (or generate a new one that you can then delete). I can test that my end and see if somehow it is station specific ---

> [@peter](#): > > python -m pip install kivy==1.11.1 I sent you a message with both of my wfpiconsole.ini files (TXT) extension. I just installed from scratch - on a different PC. However, it was also just built from a NEW Windows 10 Pro - Creator USB utility. I’ve got another PC running an older version, however it does take updates… I’ll try installing on that one, to see if it makes a difference. ---

Previously my Tempest was communicating and updating Pi Console data perfectly. Then, I had to replace my Tempest due to failure (Hub not changed). After updating the Pi Console station ID per the new Tempest, and re-booting the Pi Console, I still have no updates received by the console and the Tempest shows as offline??? Note that the tempest data is being updated when viewed on the IOS App and also via WEB access. Any thoughts? Station ID 21593 ---

I used the “Replace” feature of the iOS App when I swapped the Tempest and the weather data is reported correctly both to the iOS APP and via the WEB reporting so I know the HUB is communicating with the Tempest and with the internet. For the Raspberry Pi Console, I did update the Tempest Device ID via settings to the new “72102” and confirmed that the station ID had not changed. The Raspberry PI Console is connected to the internet as I do receive forecast updates. I don’t think I need to do any API or Token updates. BTW, I did upgrade the WeatherFlow PI console to the latest version 4.0.4 and Re-booted. Any other ideas? Thanks, Doug ---

Can you first delete the entire `wfpiconsole.ini` file. Then restart the console with `wfpiconsole start` and enter the correct station and device id’s. If it doesn’t work, can you share the logs that are printed to the terminal? ---

Ok, I deleted the wfpiconsole.ini, restarted wfpiconsole, entered the station and device ID’s, and the original API and Token data. Then I printed out the .ini file and verified correct entries. I rebooted wfpiconsole and still no data reported. I’m not sure of which error log you are referring. Is it the error log requested under the wfpiconsole directory or requested under the raspberry pi directory? I’m thinking to start over from scratch with the whole wfpi install. Doug ---

No, I was running the prior (or maybe the prior prior) version of the OS. Updating fixed the problem (after 12 hours or so, updating the OS is slow). ---

As Eric said, the `wfpiconsole.log` file is in the same directory as all the other files: `~/wfpiconsole/`. If you open a terminal manually and run `wfpiconsole start`, you will also see the same logs printed to the screen. If the PiConsole is already running (i.e. you have it set to autostart on reboot), run `wfpiconsole stop` first ---

Thanks for ypu responses. I ended up reinstalling the Raspberry OS and then the wfpiconsole. Now everything is working. I wonder if there were some remnants of the old Tempest ID somewhere?? ---

Hello Chris I wouldn’t think it is corrupt, rather a permission error. Maybe during upgrade something changed (go figure). Depending on where you installed wfpiconsole it will run as user ‘pi’ or as ‘root’ and accordingly the files must be readable by that user. Can you for exemple go in the directory and do a ls -la (this way you see who is ‘owner’ and ‘group’ + the permission to read/write files. If you installed under the /home/user/… directory you should see group and owner as the user ‘pi’. Below extract of mine. You see I’m logged in the raspberry as pi which is the usual user running the scripts and then you see a few lines of those icons Those rw r etc are read and or [read/write options](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix/unix-file-permission.htm) ```auto pi@WFconsole:~/wfpiconsole/icons/barometer/icons_hR $ ls -la total 4080 drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 36864 févr. 17 09:48 . drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 36864 févr. 17 09:48 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1902 févr. 17 09:48 1000.0.png -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1886 févr. 17 09:48 1000.1.png -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1898 févr. 17 09:48 1000.2.png -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1879 févr. 17 09:48 1000.3.png -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1887 févr. 17 09:48 1000.4.png -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1881 févr. 17 09:48 1000.5.png ``` you can change those if needed by chmod and if not the correct user via chown and chgrp I hope I didn’t loose you here 😇 ---

@eric gave a very detailed answer, but the solution is actually a lot simpler (sorry Eric!). The barometer on the Pi cannot display pressures above 1050 mb or 31.01 inHg, so the icon files are missing. Your station recently reached a maximum pressure of 31.189 inHg, maxing out the barometer and causing the errors you see above. I have never seen such a high pressure, so never spotted this bug. I will get a fix in place.
