Re: To update to v1.9.4-1088 from v1.9.4- b1079...or not?

Howdy Ray. My station is starting it's 9th month so I'm no longtime user, but I've never regretted going with Cumulus when I first set it up. If a person follows instructions and isn't afraid to ask a question or two if they get hung up on something then they should be up and running in no time at a...

Re: FEELING PRETTY STUPID AND CONFUSED!!

Steve has you going in the right direction I'm sure, I'm not familiar with the station myself. Here's a link to a manual that might help things, too. http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Fineoffset_manual I can understand the confusion on this, though. If your trying to sight the anemometer to north then yo...

Thanks for the feedback, everybody!!! Just as I expected...full support for Steve's stable versions. :) I'll try to figure out a time to do the update soon. I've always been of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. Besides a small donation each year I guess actually *using* the ...

To update to v1.9.4-1088 from v1.9.4- b1079...or not?

I've been running Cumulus v1.9.4-b1079 since back last summer and it has worked remarkably well. There was a time period of well over a month where I didn't even access the laptop screen, just viewed data via the website. It just worked...period! :) I mean, it has worked so well that I think I've fo...

Re: what web cam for the job??

I'm probably overlooking it, but you might want to put your location on your homepage. The only hint of location that I could find was "morphett vale area"...I ended up going to WU and found that you're located in Australia (looks HOT down there, too!). Anyhow, you might want to have your ...

Re: VP2SleepInterval A Good Idea?

<snip>Maybe it's a CPU problem and something is starting up and increasing the CPU. So, Cumulus can't record every wind gust. Maybe this is the case? It does sound like your cpu might not be well grounded or has a short circuit. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSYqZ3cZ9dZbuHwOq...

Re: what web cam for the job??

I know you said your desired location for the cam is too far away for USB but I thought I'd give you something to think about. I use a Logitech C920 that I modified with what is famously (in some circles<grin>) known as the "Hubble Fix". A great thread with lots of information about the fi...

Re: Davis Vantage Vue Anemometer Sticking

I think the first thing to do would be to take the cups off and give it all a clean with a damp cloth; there may just be debris, insects, or whatever in there. While the cups are off, try turning the shaft by hand to see if it is stiff; if it is you will need to get it serviced. Do not be tempted t...

Re: FTP problems with new Zyxel PK5001Z and station

It's been 5-6 days since I switched back to the old equipment and only a few odd ftp issues since then...a couple of nights around 2:15am I'd get some errors over maybe a two minute time span. Kinda of odd, but nothing compared to what I was getting previously. It looks like those errors have cleare...

Re: Transfer/move Cumulus from computer to another....??

The Cumulus instructions are pretty much straightforward. I am running Cumulus v1.9.4 B1079 which has ran quiet well. I should still have the install file for that build that I can install on the new computer and then copy over the old computer's Cumulus folder and files on top of. Rather than upgra...
