Looks like a permission error to me.

Suggest you look at https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/WeeWX-Problem-Reporting-Questionnaire and https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Help!-Posting-to-weewx-user and especially the bottom of https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Understanding-permissions

Assuming you are running v5 it is probable that the user weewx is running as needs to be added to the proper group(s) to access the hardware.

Scobey:
I’m so frustrated getting weewx to work. It is probably worth the price to pay someone to install it and the saratoga software that works on a sd card for my pi4.

I think weewx works but there is a config problem after adding the saratoga-weather software and updating weewx.conf. Really frustrating.

vinceskahan:
Sure, $500/hour with 5 hours pre-paid in cash and we can talk :-)

Basically nobody can help you in the absence of pretty much 'any' information other than words saying you're frustrated.  Thousands of people run weewx.  Many hundreds use a vantage.  Many people use Saratoga.  So it's definitely doable.

But without you providing any debug=1 logs as per the how do I report a problem guidelines, nobody can help you at all.

Get weewx working with nothing else added.  Then add Saratoga.  Nibble away at it.
