Cannot interface with console

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Cannot interface with console

Post by mikeg291 »

After countless hrs. of reading and rereading the install instructions ; I can no longer see the forest for all of the trees .This is where I am at this point.

. Cumulusmx is installed on a Raspberry pi 2 b in the root and will run. For some reason it will not talk to the vantage vue console which is
currently working great on cumulus 1.9 (win7) thru a weather link serial to usb convertor. I have tried several clean installs and also tried moving the current working data folder and config ini. to the installation . The data and config does show when running the app. I have attached A MXdiag file which shows an error . Please Advise
Thanks
Regards
Mikeg

Have you got your 'Serial port name' set as /dev/ttyUSB0

When it first connects it takes a while to show any data whilst its downloading from the vue

You've put COM8 for the serial port name:

2015-04-09 09:02:48.633 Serial device = COM8

That's not a valid device name on Linux. It will be something like /dev/ttyUSB0 - you can look in /dev for that, or do a 'dmesg' and it should show a message like "... converter now attached to ttyUSB0"
