*Check the permissions on your comport. This can be accomplished by starting up a command line prompt. Then
ls /dev/ttyS0
Where ttyS0 is your comport. ttyS0 is comport 1, ttyS1 is comport 2, etc....
*If the permissions are not 777(crwxrwxrwx) then you must
su
chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0
*Now you must check the permissions of the weatherdisplay. This time
cd /home/user/wdisplay
ls -l weatherdisplay
**If the permissions are not 777(crwxrwxrwx) then you must
su
chmod 777 weatherdisplay
also copy the files in the deploy folder to /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/lib/ using sudo
I.e
cd Deploy
sudo cp *.* /usr/local/lib/
How to start and use Weather Display Linux for the first time:
*Once again open a terminal open in your wdisplay directory (if you aren't still there from the above step ;-D) and enter
sudo ./weatherdisplay
*Now a window will open and load Weather Display Linux and ask you for your language.
*Now select from the top menu, setup, control panel. This will cause another window to appear.
*Now select comport setup, and select the correct comport for your station and select ok when done.
*Now in the control panel window select units/other settings and choose your units you wish to use. Select ok when done.
*Now in the control panel window select weather station type and choose your particular station. Select ok when done.
