Fine Offset station not found weather station Dream Link WH1080 Weather Station

[takezo]

What do you get from "ls -l /dev/hidraw*" ? What about "ls -l /sys/class/hidraw" ?

A human interface device is a USB device such as a mouse or keyboard, but manufacturers also use it for devices such as a weather station, as doing it that way means it does not need any special USB drivers.

good to know ..

this is the output:

Code: Select all

takezo@WEATHER:~/scripts/station-base $ ls -l /dev/hidraw*
/dev/hidraw*:  No such file or directory
takezo@WEATHER:~/scripts/station-base $ ls -l /sys/class/hidraw

It appears that your kernel does not have support for hidraw, so it cannot work with the USB component which MX uses, as that requires hidraw support.

any idea how can enable it..?
this is my current version of kernel in my raspberry pi:

Code: Select all

takezo@WEATHER:~ $ uname -srvipo
Linux 4.4.26+ #915 Thu Oct 20 17:02:14 BST 2016 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

in any case, thank you so much man for your support.

and one thing that i cannot understand is why i can access to my console using pwwy software?

[steve]

It has to be compiled into the kernel. Where did you get your kernel? I'd have thought it would have been compiled in if it's a standardkernel.

There are various ways of accessing USB devices, presumably pywws doesn't rely on hidraw.

Hi steve

kernel that I run has been provide for raspberry pi:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... uilding.md

but normally to update my raspberry pi to last version of kernel I use rpi-update command:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... pdating.md

now i'm running version:

4.4.34+ #930

It looks to me like you are building your own kernels from source, and you haven't enabled hidraw. You will need to look up the documentation for how to do that.

oka steve, thanks you for your support! i will follow the raspberry pi doc.
if you have any other idea, just let me know..

[rogerthn]

if you have any other idea, just let me know..

I would download RASPBIAN JESSIE LITE from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Once initial configuration bas been done
sudo apt-get install mono-complete

Hi there!!

im coming with good news..!!
I have configured Cumulus.ini attaching device in /dev/hidraw0

Code: Select all

takezo@WEATHER:~/scripts/Cumulus/CumulusMX $ ls -la /dev/hidraw0

and cumulus has found the device and run successfully!

but at this point I have a small issue, my dashboard doesn't show nothing.. but I have configured service as wunderground.com and I have seen that cumulus is sending data collected correctly from my weather station.. but as I said in option menu dashboard doesn't show nothing. any idea..?

by the way, some one can let me know if there is any option to sync date and time from my computer to station weather console automatically..?

thanks for your support!

Hello takezo, I had the same problem you indicate when I updated my BPi-M1 to Debian Jessie, what I did was to uninstall mono 3.2.8 (apt-get purge mono-complete && apt-get autoremove) and install version 4.0.2 as Steve indicated here: https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 87#p113512.
Also I installed libudev0 from the Raspbian Wheezy repositories (adding

Code: Select all

deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free

to /etc/apt/sources.list) as Debian Jessie works with libudev1 instead of libudev0.
Now my mono-complete package has version...

Code: Select all

Mono JIT compiler version 4.0.2 (Debian 4.0.2.5+dfsg-2~rpi1)

...and CumulusMX build 3041 works correctly.

Hi, I have a similar problem, "Fine Offset Station Not found" when I start CumulusMX, it was working up to 8th December when I upgraded the OS I use. (Opensuse 42.1 -> Opensuse 42.2).

I have tried setting the ComportName to COM0, copied an old Cumulus.ini from a previous installation, but to no avail. The local webpage displays the blank dials ( as there's no data being passed) and I can edit Cumulus.ini from there while the program is running, but, for some reason it will not find the station. Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks

If you're running linux (and it appears so if you are using mono to invoke the executable, it would be helpful to know what version of Linux and what your hardware running that version is.

Hi,

Yes it is Linux, Opensuse 42.2, on a standard Intel i5 chipset with 8 Gb of RAM

Linux comport designators don't use COMXX like windows. Depending on the distro it's going to be something like /dev/ttyUSBx (where x is a number). Some distros don't do it that way depending on how they read the port. If it's read as a serial port, it's still going to be in the /dev folder.

You will likely need to unplug then plug back in the usb cable, and then at the linux console issue:

dmesg

And see what the output is. That will usually tell you what name it was given.

Typically, it looks like this. Keep in mind this is from a Raspberry PI install running Debian/Raspbian Jessie. This is also a connection from a Davis VP2. YMMV.
