For the sake of anyone as dumb as me who comes across this thread looking for a solution, here it is. Don't assume the two batteries supplied with the weather station are ready to use. They are not. They need charging (in a user-provided charger) first. The manual makes no mention of this. So the ra...

Pulled batteries in console, restarted it and Cumulus. Figures aren't all zero now but in Status where I used to get a flashing green New Record nothing is flashing at all.

The rain plugs into the solar cell. Tried plugging the wind in there and still nothing. Tried a couple of other permutations but no luck. Now I have got a flashing red Error indicator in Cumulus. The console is still showing readings (except for rain) but everything apart from Recent Extremes in Cum...

Tried that but still no luck

The weather station still hasn't registered any rain so I took the funnel / cover off to see if the see-saw was stuck. It wasn't. Actuating the see-saw manually a few times did not cause any rain to be clocked up. Am I correct in assuming that it should do? I don't think there is anything else I can...

Steve, I note from the start of this thread that you are a disenchanted Delphi developer. I just wondered if you had heard of Lazarus . It's a clone of Delphi based on Free Pascal that is cross platform and open source. I was a hobbyist programmer using Delphi since the 16-bit version 1, but I switc...

Yes, the rainfall is zero on the console as well. The "light" reading seems to be working okay on the console as I've seen it change through a full cycle of values. I don't see how to relate that value to the sunlight figure. The console doesn't appear to display hours of sunlight.

A few days ago I installed a new Nevada WH3080-Solar weather station. It has never registered any rainfall. At first I thought it might be that the rain we had was too small to register. But today it has been raining quite hard for a few hours and all the rainfall figures remain at 0.0. Also the hou...

Thanks. Downloaded, installed and running.

I have just had a reply back from Pete AE5PL who maintains the amateur APRS network software and he told me the same thing. So now we know why my weather data just disappeared. No doubt it is in the APRS protocol manual but there are over 100 pages of it! I just tested the packet with TCPIP* and it ...

Actually, I don't think there ever is a response, success or failure, unless there was an error making the connection to the server. How long is it since your CWOP account was set up? I can't find you on the list of members: http://www.wxqa.com/members.txt I don't have a CWOP account. I'm sending t...

Nothing else. No error message.

Yes, I just did, and nothing showed up.

What server have you configured in Cumulus? I don't know much about APRS/CWOP, but I believe that if you have a password you should use rotate.aprs.net or rotate.aprs2.net. If that doesn't help, turn on the debug log, and the debug.log file will show the attempted uploads and any errors returned. H...

Is anyone here using Cumulus to send weather data to the ham radio APRS network directly? I tried using a couple of different servers but my weather station G4ILO-5 did not show up on aprs.fi. I do have a pass code for APRS-IS and I run an APRS client which works correctly. In fact I am sending my w...
