I've received the solar kit for the weather station and everything is going great! I just have one question, I seem to be confused on step 6 of the SolarMAX LiPo Grove Wiring Table. Step 6 has me using Grove Connector Marked D8/D9 on the Mini Pro LP (Part I) and connect to the WatchDog Timer but on step 9 the 20cm Grove connector Marked D8/D9 on the Mini Pro LP (Part I) goes to USB PowerCenteral Control/ Enable Grove Connector. Not sure how to use a port that's already in use by another device? Thank you so much any suggestions you may on this. ![]()

Wow! A Raspberry Pi 4 based SkyWeather. That will smoke! Hopefully not literally.

Hi,
While re-testing the box I've ran into this error on the Dust Sensor test. I've checked the service "pigpiod" and its running but when I run the test I receive this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testDust.py", line 9, in <module>
import pigpio
ImportError: No module named pigpio
Re-checked and Re-Seated all connections.
Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks so much,
Bill

Clearly, you don't have the pigpio module installed. What happens when you type "pigpiod" to run the daemon?

I get this message when I run pigpiod
2020-03-16 16:55:10 initInitialise: Can't lock /var/run/pigpio.pid
Can't initialise pigpio library
Did I miss an install in the git software repo?

You have pigpiod installed. But for some reason you don't have the python libraries installed. I'd look and reinstall pigpio. Kill the existing process (sudo kill -9 845 from above).
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pigpio
