Cumulus MX (Cumulus 3) beta test

[laulau]

'full stop' decimal points and comma list separator

I adopted this when I started with "FreeWX" (the first weather software i used From Andy Keir an Australian developper).
In France the list separator is theoretically ";" and ',' for the decimal point but at the very beginning FreeWX did not use the locale settings!
Since then i kept this data format

Hi Steve,
I see you already have a bunch of VP2 with solar and UV volunteers but if you need another I would be willing. I run windows 7 pro with a dual processor machine, 4 gig ram as well as a VP2 with solar, UV and 24 hr fars.

Take Care,
Mike

I think I'll leave it for now until some brave person tries it (well volunteered, Ron ) .

Great

Happy to help with a beta - running a Davisvp2 with extra sensors via Virtual VP on Windows 7, i can also try to on a Pi with a Maplin Weather Station as needs be.

Looking forward to seeing the beta

Steve
happy to volunteer as a simple setup (smartweather wh2080, Win7.1) but technical admin on site (me)
We did have a UV one but the UV tx kept blasting out the other rain sensors used as backup ;
then my SO plugged the battery in the wrong way (fitted indoors feeding the external sensor as it's way up on the roof)
and it went AWOL

If you would like to be a beta tester, please reply to this thread saying so, and please give the type of weather station that you intend to test with, and the platform (i.e Operating System) you will be running it on.

I would like to be considered as a beta tester. I have a Davis Vantage Pro2, and will be running on GNU/Linux (most probably Centos 7 dist).

Perhaps this thread should have asked "who would not like to be considered as a beta tester?"

[Safety]

I am be willing to try, my set-up will be Raspberry Pi model BNOOBS Version:1.3.11 or Debian Wheezy Version:December 2014

BTW, what does MX stand for?

1010 in Roman Numerals

BTW, what does MX stand for?

As the main platform changes appear to be Mono and Linux support (plus a bunch of other stuff!) I would hazard a guess at:-
Mono 'niX

[henkg]

Yes, please add me to your Beta tester list.
Fine Offset WH-3080; Raspberry PI B+ with probably Raspbian Wheezy.

I just thought that "MX" sounded good. I did have a meaning for it in the back of my mind, though, and Brian's guess is close.

Status report: I'm having a problem with the Twitter code on my Pi (it works fine on Windows) but everything else seems to work OK on the Pi. I'll try to resolve that today (it's a problem with loading the required libraries) and also give it a try on my Mac. If I can't resolve it quickly I'll probably start the beta trial in the next couple of days with Twitter support as a known issue on non-Windows systems for now.

Great news!

I'd love to be a beta tester.
Equipment: Raspberry Pi mode B or B+, Fine Offset 1081. I can even run it in parallel with the existing Cumulus setup on a second FO 1081.

Hi Steve,

great work thanks - if you need more beta testers, i would like to give back some time/ernergy.

I could test on win7, opensuse and on raspberry b with an old fine offset 1080.
