Peter,
I recently lost the long established link to my WF. I found my Pi displaying the desktop, I tried to restart the WF PiConsole but it refuses to start. Is this perhaps anything familiar or would it be best ot just rebuild the WF PiConsole? Just asking in case it sounded familiar. Have to find a few hours to sit down and re do it.
in the same directory where picconsole is, you should find a log file. Already see in there what it tells or launch it via terminal and itāll show all what it does and eventually an error.
Did you manage to find the log file as eric suggested, or can you share what is printed to the terminal when you try and start the console? There shouldnāt be any reason why I wouldnāt start. Iām sure rebuilding will fix the issue, but there might be a simple fix!
Youāre right - this has been on the list for a while! I will move it to the top and work on it when ever I get a chance 
. Thanks for your patience!
Iāve built four wfpiconsoles for friends Tempests, but this latest project has me stumped. It says the station ID was not found. The CheckWX API key and Weatherflow Personal Token were accepted, but the station ID is not. If I type the ID into a browser grid, the station ID is working. Any ideas?
wild guess but could it be the station is set to private in the settings ???
If the station is not set to private, can you copy this URL into a browser:
https://swd.weatherflow.com/swd/rest/stations/xxxx?api_key=yyyy
Replace the xxxx with the station ID and the yyyy with the personal access token and let me know what response you see?
The station is not private. I get this response: {āstatusā:{āstatus_codeā:404,āstatus_messageā:āNOT FOUNDā}}
Can you share your station ID ? I canāt find you in the database with the mail you used on this forum.
My friendās station ID is 44000.
Thatās weird. The station clearly exists, but it canāt be found by the API. I assume you are using a Personal Access Token generated using the account that owns the station (i.e. your friends account rather than yours)?
Yes, that is correct. His account. Should I have him delete all tokens and start over?
Yea that might be something to try. It is odd though as usually a bad token results in a āNot Authorisedā response. If you canāt get it to work, I suggest you might want to send support an email so they can look into it further. Reference this thread so they can see the troubleshooting we have tried already.
No joy. We will send them an email. Thanks for your help, Peter, and thanks for creating such a great program. Iāll let you know the outcome.
I see no token for now, deleted all again ?
It turns out that my friend registered his Tempest with one email but has since started using a new email, so the token did not match his original registration. We generated a token using his old email and now everything is working. Thanks Peter, Eric, and the folks at WeatherFlow for your help!
Just finished setting up the Pi Console, and love it. It is great to have a stand alone display.
Thank you to Peter and everyone involved for making a very useful display.

Iām a bit confused about which touchscreen to buy. The pinned post above says to use an official Raspberry Pi Touchscreen display and not to use a display that plugs into the SPI port. Yet the official display does seem to do that, at least for power. There are lots of displays that use the HDMI connector, but itās not clear how touches make it back to the Pi. Any pointers appreciated!
Edit: It seems the displays that use the HDMI port feed touches back through one of the USB ports. I assume these displays are compatible?
Hello the Pi touchscreen plugs into the Pi with the ribbon cable to the display port. The case will have a power splitter cable to power the Pi and display with one power supply. You do not need to hook up and jumper wires from the display to the Pi.
I have seen post where people are running Pi console on full size monitors, I have not tried anything but the Pi touch screen

Thank you - I went ahead and ordered the official Pi screen and a case to fit. Itās not as high resolution as the HDMI screens, but probably doesnāt need to be.
