Weatherbit no readings at all - first use

Sensors Environmental
1

I recently got a weather:bit PKG-14953.
I’ve tried Experiment 1: Reading the Temperature, Humidity and Pressure but all I get is

RAIN: 0
WIND: 0
DIR: ???
RAIN: 0
WIND: 0
DIR: ???
RAIN: 0

This is the python code:

basic.show_icon(IconNames.HEART)
weatherbit.start_weather_monitoring()

def on_forever():
    serial.write_line("RAIN: " + ("" + str(weatherbit.rain())))
    serial.write_line("WIND: " + ("" + str(weatherbit.wind_speed())))
    serial.write_line("DIR: " + weatherbit.wind_direction())
    basic.pause(1000)
basic.forever(on_forever)

Any ideas please?

Using Experiment 5: Reading the Wind Direction and Speed only shows the heart pattern. There are no numbers running across the display

Are you using the guides here?

Thank you, TS-Russell, yes I’ve tried those. I believe the weather vane is dead and have ordered a replacement. I have been able to get readings from the anemometer and am working on the rain gauge

I have received a new Wind Vane and still no joy :frowning:

Have you loaded the weather bit extension?
