Rasberrypi - 'unable to connect to station'

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Rasberrypi - 'unable to connect to station'

Post by g10rdan0 »

Hello, I have installed the latest version of Cumulus MX on a RP2. This is connected to a Vantage Pro 2 console with a data logger. When I run the software I receive the above message and also the following;

System.IO.IOException: Bad file descriptor
at System.IO.Ports.SerialPortStream.ThrowIOException () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at System.IO.Ports.SerialPortStream.Dispose (Boolean disposing) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at System.IO.Ports.SerialPortStream.Finalize () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 System.IO.IOException: Bad file descriptor

at System.IO.Ports.SerialPortStream.Dispose (Boolean disposing) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at System.IO.Ports.SerialPortStream.Finalize () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Could anyone please advise me?

You'll have to give us a bit more to go on.

Is it USB or Serial attached?
What have you configured for the com port in Cumulus?
If it is USB attached station, have you switched it to serial port mode?
Does the station show correctly in the /dev folder?

It is now fixed, I forgot to change the small c to a capital when I transfered the .ini file so it was not looking at my data com3. Thanks for your help.
