Re: Limited Weather Stations

Also, and I hope I'm not coming across as crass here, but this software is being provided free of charge. Many weather station companies would want you to purchase their software, when in most cases their software is substandard as it compares to other solutions. I've just found that CumulusMX, for ...

Re: Anemometer against a spider

Magpies sitting on the Anemometer & shitting down onto the wind cups & body is my biggest Baine. It can get glued up to the point it needs 10km/h to register. Rain usually washes it off & clears it. Need a few bird spikes, but it's around 9m up. I got the updated Davis rain cone and it ...

I usually disconnect the rain cable in the ISS before I do this and make sure the spoons are empty before I hook it back up; if not I empty them.

Re: Question regarding Davis DavisTotalPacketsReceived webtag

Davis just messed up! Like you have found you do not notice until near the end of the day when the packet count can exceed the variable limit. To convert the correct value you can just add 65536 to the returned value if it is negative. Yeah, I would have never noticed it before I was using the newe...

Re: Question regarding Davis DavisTotalPacketsReceived webtag

Actually, looking at that log entry the console is using a signed 16 bit int to hold the value because it is sending "2D-33-32-35-37-39" = -32579 I'll add a correction in the next release of CMX to allow for this... Is there a way to normalize that specific data or is it just not going to...

Re: SQL Custom Upload Question

Is it possible for CMX to insert data in to two different table names at the same interval? I had an idea I wanted to try out, but I am already using seconds/minutes interval in the custom uploads. I don't think it would be CMX's function to do this; if you're using a custom can you string two inse...

Re: Question regarding Davis DavisTotalPacketsReceived webtag

Looks like you are using Signed smallint i.e. range -32768 to 32767 The range for Unsigned is 0 to 65535, should do the trick. OK I changed that to UNSIGNED and it was set to BIGINT (I thought I set to UNSIGNED as part of my troubleshooting) but the snippet I provided was directly from the MXdiag f...

Question regarding Davis DavisTotalPacketsReceived webtag

So, for the last week or so I've set up a custom SQL insert to add some Davis reception stats to a table. It's been working fine, but what I'm seeing is that once that value gets above 32767 (my guess is it's that value), the values inserted change to a negative number. It's just one value at the en...

ok, i'll see about a solution thanks Alot of routers have built in VPN servers now. I have an Asus router which has two options; OpenVPN (most secure) and PPTP (not really secure). Both have their advantages. PPTP, while insecure, offers Windows machines native access without having to install clie...

Re: Alternative CumulusMX Interface

I noticed in index.html you're missing a span tag for the temp trend that makes that value populate with the span default of -.-. This can be corrected by just changing that initial <span> tag to <span id="TempTrend"> . This is on line 115. Also, the gauges page seems to continually cycle ...

Yeah I could probably go ahead and do that as well...
