Had a look at it this morning - gave the bearing a touch of very light oil (I know - this is supposed to be a bad idea, but I figure it is worth a try, given the alternative is a complete new sensor at £175) and reassembled/realigned everything. So far, so good.

I suspect you are right - that is the old style of housing, mine is the Mk 2 version which is different. I may just strip it down & take a look.

My Davis VP2 weather vane seems to have a bearing problem - you can actually hear a graunching noise as the vane changes direction. The system is about 4 years old and I have already had to replace the anemometer cartridge for similar reasons, as it was not spinning in low wind speeds. Unfortunately...

Thanks Paul - much appreciated!

Thanks David - that sounds a lot easier than I had feared!

Apologies in advance if this has been answered a thousand times already, but if it has, it is deeply buried and/or spread across multiple posts, so difficult to locate. I have been running Cumulus V1 for several years, and potentially can continue to do so, but I suspect that at some point, Windows ...

Indeed...but it looks like it is reading down records from the data logger once more, so I can only assume that the two issues were linked.

Thanks for all your help!

Progress on one front at least. I had a UPS attached to the PC that was running Cumulus, and the UPS monitoring software appeared to be interfering with Cumulus's access to the USB ports...having disabled the monitoring software Cumulus now reliably connects to the Vantage Pro over the serial link. ...

Correction - it seems I was looking at the wrong data on WU. The catchup data doesn't seem to be getting to WU either.

Tony_J

...and yes, the Cumulus software and the station are both set to 5 minute logging intervals.

Paul -

Thanks. Yes, I am uploading to WU, and the catchup data seems to be there, but doesn't appear on my local graphs. Most odd.

Possibly related...but I am finding that on restarting Cumulus after it has been offline for a while (power cuts, etc.) that it no longer reads logged info from my Vantage Pro 2, so I get gaps in the data when that happens. Used to be fine. Is this a known problem?

Tony_J

Further info...when I try running WeatherLink to test the USB comms under settings/Communications Port, I get "error communicating through USB". If I select "Serial" and auto detect, mostly it fails to find a station, but occasionally finds the Vantage Pro. Of course, when switch...

I am getting this error with my Vantage Pro 2 on Win 8 - the configuration has been stable for a couple of years, but today after a PC re-boot Cumulus won't communicate with the Vantage Pro station and gives error -32701 regardless of the com port setting (was port 4, and looking in Device Manager o...
