Re: Raspberry Pi Image - stops immediately
Like you plan to do, my RPi drives a web server too, so I am sure you will be ok. How are you running your webserver? When I first set the system up with the duff card, I installed Apache and set up FTP so Cumulus could FTP into the Apache folder, which worked but felt hacky. It seems to be stable ...

Re: Raspberry Pi Image - stops immediately
Thanks for the advice So far I have ditched the pi 1 in favour of a new pi 3, which is working reasonably well now, aside from some persistent crashing issues, which I think (hope!) were caused by a dying SD card. I've stuck a new card in it today, so hopefully that will let the thing stay up for mo...

Re: Raspberry Pi Image - stops immediately
Hi, I'm a former user of Cumulus just getting back into things again with a new station. My old station packed up a few years ago, and then I moved house and didn't get round to replacing it until now. It looks like I've missed some big exciting changes round here over the last few years, it's great...

Re: Spooky Fine Offset
My station did this a few months after I got it. It turned out that the LCD's touch overlay had gone faulty. As I a) didn't want to take the whole thing down and return it, and b) because I'm running it straight into cumulus, and never use the screen, I just disconnected the touch overlay. It's just...

Re: Temperature data spikes revisited
Just out of interest, how are you going to use optos with a circuit that reads a resistor array for wind direction? Are you building an external ADC of some sort?

Re: Temperature data spikes revisited
I admire your tenacity on this! Have you tried tuning a radio to the station's frequency to see if there's any RF interference with your transmission? I'm fairly sure this is what causes my occasional spikes. While my station is on 868MHz and my interference is fairly infrequent, 433MHz is a far mor...

Re: The inside of the ws-1081
It should be possible, but you'd need to work out the pinout of the radio chips in both the transmitter and receiver. Given that at least the transmitter is usually encapsulated with resin, this could be tricky. It might be easier on the 868 MHz W8681, as (at least on recent units) the Tx circuit is...

Re: Photos of the insides of Fine Offset sensors.
Just opened the solar pod up, nothing particularly interesting in there, a simple white masked PCB with the solar panel's support frame screwed to it. The PCB has an RJ11 type socket for the rain sensor, a small tactile "reset" switch, which seems to short out the panel momentarily, and a ...

Re: Photos of the insides of Fine Offset sensors.
I've just bought a spare W8681 transmitter because I want to try some mods without breaking my station. I'd like to take the sensors off the board and put them in the screen, with the main PCB re-cased and put elsewhere. I'd like to get better airflow over the sensors to see if I can improve the res...
