Upgrading from version 3083

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).

Paul
Good progress. I upgraded to 3141 first and then 3160. My station connects and displays the correct information on the Dashboard. But two problems remain. First, the Station and Internet tabs on Settings do not open up even if I click on the down arrow. All the other tabs open fine. I had this problem earlier and then it cleared up on its own.

Second, the wxnow file is not getting updated every minute. I haD to manually edit the Cumulus.ini file to set the three values to 1. But that did not fix it. This evidently is independent of the display on the dashboard because those numbers are changing correctly. I rebooted several times and restarted CMX many times but no change.

Re the settings screens, please clear your browser cache and try again.

For the wxnow issue, switch on debug logging, let it run for a while and then post your MXdiags file.

Hi

I stopped then started CMX and ran it for about 30 min. Attached is the mxdiags, I searched for wxnow and no hits. Please note that Station Settings and internet settings do not populate when I open them. All other tabs on settings do. Since I could not set internet settings, I manually edited Cumulus.ini to add the wxnow parameters but the wxnow file does not update.

You really need to get the settings screens sorted out - without them it is going to be difficult to manage Cumulus going forward.

I've lost track now, but have you tried opening the pages on a device you haven't used to look at them before?

As far as I can see your station is not sending any wind data. So the No Sensor check option is kicking in and preventing any periodic processing taking place.

mcrossley, thanks for this. Re the settings screen, I have used a in-private session and it works fine. So I will flush the cache and it should be fine.

My wind gauge is notorious for dropping out. Is there some way I can disable the no sensor check. Is this what is causing the problem of the wxnow file not being created? I should mention that when I was running 3083, the wxnow file worked properly as far as I could see. I need the wxnow file for my tnc software to send the weather on the RF net.

Enable it in Station Settings > Common Options > Sensor check: [tick] No sensor check

Enjoy,

Thanks Paul. Did that and it works now. WXnow gets updated and clearing the cache has fixed the other problem. Thanks to all of you for the help getting this done. I REALLY appreciate it.
