I've running Debian Jessie through VMware ESXI 6.0

I can see through lsusb the weather station is found but when I run mono CumulusMX.exe it says Fine Offset station not found.

Thanks for replying Steve, I have it installed. I managed to get it working now but I have a strange error in MXdiags (see below on next post)

Silly question but I am using MYSQL, but does any of cumulus use the MYSQL to access your data, if not have I wasted my time setting it up?

It's the SQL statement that inserts that row in to the Monthly database for the MYSql database you're updating to. If you're referring to the IGNORE part of the insert statement, all that does is ignores any errors during the insert statement.

It's just an option, if you personally have a use for it (as some people do) then you can use it. If you don't have a use for it, then don't use it. None of the web pages that come with Cumulus use MySQL, they are provided as a simple 'quick start'. Some people are content to just use those, others move on to more sophisticated web sites using PHP and MySQL.
