Cumulus MX not downloading data from datalogger through VVP

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).

Cumulus MX not downloading data from datalogger through VVP

Post by Atlas »

Hi

I've noticed (I don't know since exactly because I have no notice 'til now) that Cumulus MX is not downloading data from Davis datalogger when I restart PC and miss a couple of minutes or so (or more if it takes more time).
When I see monthly datalog (or charts) miss these entries. I have VVP with MX through a Virtual serial port (not TCP/IP) and WL or WD downloads all the data without problem.

Do I miss some configuration in Cumulus.ini or something??

Best regards

Are you using VSPE (or equivalent) for doing the serial-port null modem connections? How are your port pairs set up?

On my setup, I have VirtualVP reading COM2 for the Davis VP1 serial connection.

VSPE establishes the following null-modem port pairs:

COM5:COM15
COM6:COM16
COM7:COM17
COM8:COM19

Then VirtualVP uses
COM15
COM16
COM17
COM18
for the 4 COM ports. Weather software can then connect on
COM5
COM6
COM7
COM8

I'm using com0com driver for W10 x64

The pairs are well created and currently VVP is sending data to WD in Virtual console1 and to MX in Virtual console2 without any problems. The issue is just downloading data when firstly MX connects to VVP.
