Can you post both full log files please
Was this for me? If so, sure, just the same one I was copying from?

Re: A Couple of Issues With Latest Release [3.14.2]

So this is what happens if LOOP2 is disabled on my station: 2022-01-21 12:05:45.055 InitSerial: TEST (2) successful 2022-01-21 12:05:45.055 InitSerial: Connection confirmed 2022-01-21 12:05:45.055 SendLoopCommand: Reconnected to station 2022-01-21 12:05:45.055 Sending BARREAD 2022-01-21 12:05:45.055...

Re: A Couple of Issues With Latest Release [3.14.2]

Interesting. So I have a Vantage Pro (OG), and the main issue I have is that if I have 1-minute barometer updates enabled, everything falls apart and it eventually loses connection with the station. But if I enable LOOP, then everything runs fine and dandy. I’m running Revision B of the Vantage Pro ...

Re: A Couple of Issues With Latest Release [3.14.2]

Hmm, odd. I wonder if there’s a case for re-installing the whole package and copying the data back in.

A Couple of Issues With Latest Release [3.14.2]

Hey, just wanted to pass along two issues I noticed with the latest release: 1. I have to manually re-enable using LOOP2 data for my Davis station each time I launch CumulusMX; the UseDavisLoop2=1 setting in Cumlus.ini does not seem to be respected. 2. Extra web files were not being uploaded if my c...

Re: Suggestion for Changes to Daily Temperature Charts

Wow, you all work quickly! Thanks @beteljuice for whipping up the code so I didn't have to. It's nothing too complex, but I'm glad to see the idea was worth sharing! I do personally prefer it to line graphs for these range value parameters.

Re: Suggestion for Changes to Daily Temperature Charts

I'd suggest altering it to a box plot for max/min with a line series for the average temperature: Looks good, but would need to be able to switch to the original version as well. btw: do you have a site or do you have this only on the interface? It's up on my website: https://www.aweathermoment.com...

Re: Suggestion for Changes to Daily Temperature Charts

I'm a non-user, but for the 'month' range it is a style I've always preferred. ... but there are those that will say (for whatever reason) that they can't show just the min, or just the max. Hmm... someone should be able to produce some logic to show all graph types based on if min and max are sele...

Suggestion for Changes to Daily Temperature Charts

I just want to say, first off, thanks for the continued development of CumulusMX. It's a fantastic program and I really appreciate its ability to show my data quickly, and store/send it in accessible formats wherever I need it. I've been tinkering with output for a while, and one place I think the c...

Re: Davis Vantage Pro Issue with 3.9.5 b3100

Yeah, the best I could find was code in Perl: sub read_bar { sub read_bar { wake_up(); put_string($fd, "BARREAD\n"); @data = (); $index = 0; $old_bar = $bar; my $lines = 0; eval{ alarm(3); # 3 second timeout while($index < 13){ $data[$index] = get_char($fd); $index++; }; alarm(0); }; Also ...

Re: Davis Vantage Pro Issue with 3.9.5 b3100

Attached is the new log. You can see where I disabled 1 minute barometer updates at Line 625. After that, as far as I can see, all the problems disappear. It's been running for almost an hour now without losing its data stream (which it never made it 35 minutes before). Has anything changed with the...

Re: Davis Vantage Pro Issue with 3.9.5 b3100

Well, it's an original Vantage Pro, so the firmware is quite old. Seems like the Serial adapter now just uses macOS' DriverKit stack and not the custom driver any more, so I'm not sure if I can even change that aspect of it. The USB port is always awake. Just testing now, every timeout is associated...

Re: Davis Vantage Pro Issue with 3.9.5 b3100

Thanks for that. It was connected via a hub, but I just switch things around so the USB > Serial adapter is now directly connected to the computer. We'll see if that makes a difference. If not, perhaps the next avenue will be seeing if there's any driver updates for the adapter. That said, from a pe...

Hmm, you may be right.

Is 5.10.x considered old enough to need to upgrade? I try to keep this machine as static as possible.
