Rpi and WMR928 data

[laulau]

Hi,
Here : https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 22#p102222

Assuming you have Logging=1 in Cumulus.ini, that means it's not receiving any data after it opens the serial port. I'm afraid I don't know why, because it's the same code that works in Windows.

YES!

So I have a station that works with CMX build 3007 under Windows but refuses to work on my RPi.
I can see the WMR928 row data incoming on my pi with cat /dev/ttyUSB0 and the data are similar to those in windows.

Is there a linux expert who can help us solve this problem?
Thanks

It appears that Mono does not (or did not) support 'data received' events for serial ports, which is what my code for the WMR928 (and WM918) uses. There is documentation that this used to be the case, and I can't find anything to say it has been fixed.

It's a pity

[steve]

I'll have a go at re-writing the code to use polling rather than events.

[laulau]

It's really nice

I've just uploaded build 3008 with the changes. It might be best to try it on Windows first, to see if it works at all.

It is still running and window.
And "Cerises sur le gateau" it also works on raspberry!
I have not tried everything, just have a quick go.

And you know what?
The Alltime.ini not loading in windows works like a charm on the (en-GB) RPi

[steve]

I'm actually surprised that it still works on Windows. I was lying in bed about an hour ago (0645), thinking that I didn't want to get up yet, and I suddenly realised that I hadn't taken out the code that hooks up the event handler. So on Windows it's both polling and using events. It must be by luck that it still works. Good that it works on the Pi, though!

I'm not able to read my old monthlog files because of en-GB locals.
I Could rename them but Pffff.
Is there a way to customize the locals in linux like in window (to only change the month naming part) ?

[steve]

I think you do it with 'LC_' environment variables - https://wiki.debian.org/Locale

You can use LC_TIME to change the date and time formatting to another locale, but I don't know if that will achieve what you want.

[laulau]

I've added LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8 to /etc/default/locale but it doesn't achieve what i wanted.

[steve]

I suspect that Mono isn't taking any notice - same as with having to supply the locale to Cumulus on the command line

[laulau]

I'll put my Rpi test back to fr_FR.UTF-8 and try sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -lang en-GB to look what happens.

With those settings Cmx has issue at sartup when trying to read Jan15log.txt but is receiving data.
Curiously the Data log viewer is able to read the file.
