Hi again Joel. Thanks for recording how you got wxGTK installed! My Pi died and I finally got a replacement however the new Pi just will not work with the old Pi's SD card, and despite having a backup card, I have had to reload auroramon again because of some differences in the operating system / Pi hardware since my original install a few years ago - apparently it's a common problem with replacement Pis, but it has caught me out. A real pain. The steps in your post worked and both wxGTK and auroramon...

Joel, what an straightforward fix - something I had completely overlooked doing. Getting old. My default font had been set at 16 for some reason. 10 works perfectly. At last I can see all the data presented as it should be. Many thanks!

Well done, its satisfying when you find a solution that works. Do you by any chance know of a way to overcome the overlapping text problem ? (see examples attached). If so, could you please let me know how you did it ?

I remember getting similar GTK messages when I installed the wrong version to the wrong folder. I'm assuming you followed the download path for wxWidgets that I posted above. I selected the 'wxGTK 13MB' option (wxGTK-2.8.12.tar.gz) for the 'Previous Stable Release: 2.8.12' and extracted it into the folder I pasted in previous post. It worked for me, albeit with various warnings. I'm also assuming the errors you are getting with the 'make' command are when you are trying to compile auroramon from...

To get the widgets installed I did the following. I could not get the version 3.0.5 to work with Auroramon. I unzipped the version 2.8.12 into the following folder: /home/pi/wxGTK-2.8.12 In a terminal I entered: cd /home/pi/wxGTK-2.8.12 ./configure And, from memory, that built the wxwidgets library. Hope that works, good luck

Update on my original query first. I generated a new API code from PVOutput and that solved the 'PVOutput.org update failed: Protocol error', no idea why, the original key was correctly pasted. The program is now communicating with PVOutput.org nicely : ) In response to D Borresen’s question. The download on your post is actually for a different program to the one discussed in this post, Sourceforge Aurora Monitor v 1.07 (http://auroramonitor.sourceforge.net/). If you have an Aurora brand inverter...

Possibly a long shot given the age of the program and inverter. I've just loaded and got Auroramon running on a Pi4. The program is communicating with the inverter ok however I have not been able to upload my solar data to PVOutput.org. I've been through the setup on both Auroramon and PVOutput several times and can't spot where I'm messing up. The error I get is 'PVOutput.org update failed: Protocol error'. If there are still any users out there who could point me in the right direction I would...
