Hi, I bough my enviroplus and got it all set up and running with my raspi zero WH, despite not having a clue about linux, but Google helps a lot.
To get things working with the Luftdaten script, I followed this instructions which worked well, except the automated script execution at reboot.
So if I boot the raspi, change to the example directory and execute luftdaten.py, data is captured and transmitted to the luftdaten map.
If I only do the reboot, no data is being transferred :o(
I guess I screwed up something
Linux newbie asking for help
Thanks
This is my /etc/crontab
/etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
Unlike any other crontab you don’t have to run the `crontab’
command to install the new version when you edit this file
and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
that none of the other crontabs do.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Example of job definition:
.---------------- minute (0 - 59)
| .------------- hour (0 - 23)
| | .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
| | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr …
| | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
| | | | |
