CUMULUS - APRS

Post by hamix »

Hi
I use Cumulus with WeatherDuino Pro2 hw. ( Vantage Pro2 compatible) I want to upload wx data over APRS. I 've done what explained Cumulus help (http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Cumulus.ini) But pressure value is not sent or/displayed on the APRS side. (http://aprs.fi)
Is there any other "hidden" point? Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards.

Cumulus definitely sends pressure to CWOP/APRS. Please show a screen shot of your APRS/CWOP settings panel on the Cumulus internet settings screen. If you turn on debug logging, the debug.log file will show the string that Cumulus is sending to CWOP, and any error message being returned by the CWOP servers.

Edit: It occurs to me that you might not be using Cumulus to upload to CWOP, but are instead using the wxnow.txt file and some other application to do the upload (it's hard to say exactly what you're trying to do from the little information you've supplied). If that is the case, please attach a copy of your wxnow.txt file.

Thank you for your reply.
I've attached screen shot of Cumulus screen, Cumulus station settings, Cumulus internet settings and aprs page.

And this is wxnow.txt:

Ah, so you are using Cumulus to upload to CWOP. You need to turn on debug logging as previously mentioned.

Are all of your sensors working? Have you really had zero wind all day?

I do not use wind and rain sensors. My present sensors are thermometer and humidity for indoor and outdor, pressure sensor, UV sensor.
Anyway turned on debugging. I'll wait for your advices.
Regards.

Edit: The "debug.log" and my Cumulus.ini files attached.

The details which Cumulus needs to calculate Altimeter Pressure (as required by CWOP) are not being returned in response to the BARDATA command:

0344.704 : 20:12:01.137 Sending BARDATA
0346.735 : 20:12:03.178 Bardata = 0A 0D 4F 4B 0A 0D FFFFFFFF

Here is the example from the Davis protocol spec:

"BARDATA"
It retrieves the current barometer calibration parameters in text. These tell you what the current elevation setting and barometer offset values are, plus some details on the barometer correction factor being used.
Example:
>"BARDATA"<LF>
<<LF><CR>"OK"<LF><CR>
<"BAR 29775"<LF><CR>
<"ELEVATION 27"<LF><CR>
<"DEW POINT 56"<LF><CR>
<"VIRTUAL TEMP 63"<LF><CR>
<"C 29"<LF><CR>
<"R 1001"<LF><CR>
<"BARCAL 0"<LF><CR>
<"GAIN 1533"<LF><CR>
<"OFFSET 18110"<LF><CR>

Steve,
I'm a lawyer and radio amateur. So I have no idea why " Altimeter Pressure (as required by CWOP) are not being returned" :)
What can I do?

I'm the Cumulus author, so I have no idea why they're not being returned either ;)

Perhaps you should ask the Weatherduino author?

Hi hamix

Currently WeatherDuino Pro 2 doesn't respond to BARDATA command. Response to this command will be implemented on next build release.
You also have a answer in our support forum.
