FTP Upload Error

I see this mentioned in the known problems but I'm uploading here in case it's different to what has been reported before. Every so often I get the error below and I have to restart MX to fix it. it's just a temporary problem with the connection to my web space. Could MX not just try again at the ne...

Very strange rainfall figures

I have just noticed a very strange problem with the rainfall figures on my install of MX. I've never seen it before in all the time I've been running it. I've attached some screen shots to show the problem. Looking at the logs screen I see that rainfall for yesterday was 10.9 mm. Seems reasonable. T...

Re: FTP error realtimegauges.txt

But specifying long realtime intervals (several minutes) was not really what the realtime facility was intended for, which is why it keeps the connection open. If you're going to do that, then it seems to me that you may as well just upload it with the other files (i.e. don't use realtime at all). ...

Re: FTP error realtimegauges.txt

It looks like the connection keeps getting dropped - you seem to be using a very long realtime interval - 10 minutes? Perhaps the connection being idle for so long means that it is being timed out. Cumulus 1 has an option to disconnect and reconnect the realtime connection after N uploads, but I ha...

Re: FTP error realtimegauges.txt

Cumulus doesn't actually do anything with the ftp connection, it knows nothing about ftp at all. It's all handled with a third party component. It looks like the connection keeps getting dropped - you seem to be using a very long realtime interval - 10 minutes? Perhaps the connection being idle for...

FTP error realtimegauges.txt

I have been getting errors in MXdiag about a failure to upload realtimegaugesT.txttmp to realtimegauges,txt. It doesn't happen every time, but approximately every other time. I have tried to manually FTP the file every few seconds and it never fails so I am wondering if there is sometimes a problem ...

Graph start time after restart of CumulusMX

After a restart, graphs do not display data prior to the restart time. The Y axis starts from the restart time. I expected the data to be reloaded from the logs and then the graphs would display the last 24 hours or whatever is configured. This happens in both the uploaded graphs and the user interf...

Re: Problem with easyweather.dat date and time

OK Steve thanks for explaining that. I was confused by http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/EasyWeather_Format where the file format is explained and there is a transmit date and time which it says is not used by Cumulus and a reading date and time which it says is used by Cumulus. So, would it be possible ...

Problem with easyweather.dat date and time

Hi everyone. First post here. I have just started using Cumulus to record data from my home built weather station which is Arduino based and currently just records temperature, pressure and humidity. Since I mostly use Linux I thought I would try out MX. I am writing a easyweather.dat file which is ...
