Cumulus and RF Stick DAVIS without datalogger

Post by ChaserPeek »

Hi Guys,

I'm testing CumulusMX using a stick RF receiver for Davis (no display and no datalogger). The system know it, and receive data, but CumulusMX not record any data: no graph and no log files.
Please, can I know if it's a setting to change for work without datalogger davis ?

i tried to change UseDataLogger=0 to UseDataLogger=1 in cumulus.ini file with no results.
Thanks ! ;)

What device are you using, does it simulate the whole of the Davis serial protocol?

Yes, I'm using this:
https://www.eurowebcamsite.com/it/e-sho ... vis-detail

it working as davis interface, with FTDI protocol. CumulusMX read the realtime data and dashboard working, but no records.
I think Cumulus 1 haves the setting to exclude datalogger, it's right ? I not found it in MX.
Thanks.

You have the correct setting for Cumulus.ini file. Did you stop Cumulus, edit the file, then restart Cumulus?

Hi Mark,

in last weeks/month I tried this receiver for Davis, I think it's very cool.
I done some settings in CumulusMX but without any results.

If you want, I can be avaiable for search a solution / fix the bug: I can open ssh port to access on my Rpi4 (PM message).
If you think it's a good solution, we can search a solution together.

Thanks! ;)

OK...

Code: Select all

Minimum data set of pressure, temperature, and wind is not available and NoSensorCheck is not enabled.
It does not look like you providing a pressure reading?

If you do not have one then this FAQ applies...

And...

Code: Select all

Thanks Mark,

Code: Select all

Error uploading realtime.txt to //realtime.txt : Can't open that file: Permission denied
is not a problem, because I'm working in home testing mode.

I have added:

Code: Select all

NoSensorCheck=1
in Cumulus.ini, [station] section

CumulusMX now works with all graphics also. Maybe I have solved, I will upgrade after some testings.
Thanks !! ;)
