loss of connection between the station and the pc (CumulusMX and wx3083 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).

loss of connection between the station and the pc (CumulusMX and wx3083 station)

Post by jmlebret »

Hello,

I'm using a wx3083 station connected on a PC with Windows 10.

The PC loss the connexion with the station every 2 or 3 days. Same process with Cumulus and CumulsMX, and on others PCs.

The message received via CumulusMX :
Current culture: Français (France)
Serial: 6180F46FF3A56D5E5FCE39CC003865D4
Cumulus MX v.3.0.0 build 3050
Today.ini = data\today.ini
Last update=2019-08-17T15:03:30
Looking for Fine Offset station
Fine Offset station found
Connected to station
Error reading data from station - it may need resetting

with message "Error reading data from station - it may need resetting" that comes back in a loop.

After reset of the station, the connexion is ok and CumulusMX retrieves all data, before a new connexion problem after 2 or 3 days.

How to solve this problem of loss of connection ?

Have you used the Cumulus MX Fine Offset sync setting, this sometimes cures this problem?

Yes, unfortunately this option is already used, but without solving the problem.
