Bad temperature reading on fine offset and CumulusMX

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.

Bad temperature reading on fine offset and CumulusMX

Post by bigmacd »

External temperature went haywire on CumulusMX overnight. Restarted and now all OK.Fine offset panel displaying the correct temperature throughout. Thoughts please?

Fine Offset's are prone to doing this that is why there are Spike Removal settings in Calibration Settings.

You're getting huge numbers of errors, and it looks like the USB connection to the console is being lost. You also appear to be running more than one copy of Cumulus at once, at least some of the time - that will also lead to garbage data.

Thanks Steve.

I went through the INI file and set on a warning flag.Any other recommendations? I think I need something like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# description: Start or stop the app server
# Added by

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:             app
# Required-Start:       $local_fs $remote_fs
# Required-Stop:        $local_fs $remote_fs
# Default-Start:        2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:         0 1 6
# Short-Description:    app server
### END INIT INFO

set -e
cd /opt/app
port=

case "$1" in
'start')
        echo "Starting app..."
        Start App
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
'stop')
        echo "Stopping app..."
        Stop app
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
'status')
        cnt=`ps -ef | grep "app" | grep -v grep | wc -l`
        if [ "$cnt" -eq "0" ] ; then
                echo "app is not running"
        else
                echo "app is running"
        fi
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | status }"
        RETVAL=1
        ;;
esac
exit $RETVAL
In the
/etc/init.d
directory.

I've been trying to get it to work for CumulusMX but it's out of my experience.

Anyone out there with the knowledge?

Do you mean 'WarnMultiple'? That doesn't have any effect in MX yet, I haven't written the code. I'll see if I can add it in the next build, it doesn't look too hard.
