A Couple of Issues With Latest Release [3.14.2]

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).

A Couple of Issues With Latest Release [3.14.2]

Post by buffaloseven »

Hey, just wanted to pass along two issues I noticed with the latest release:

1. I have to manually re-enable using LOOP2 data for my Davis station each time I launch CumulusMX; the UseDavisLoop2=1 setting in Cumlus.ini does not seem to be respected.
2. Extra web files were not being uploaded if my connection was set to SFTP. When I switched back to FTP, the extra web files uploaded right away.

The continued development on CumulusMX is wonderful; keep up the great work!

Cannot speak for Loop2 settings as I am not a Davis user, but I use SFTP and all files are uploading correctly.

Hmm, odd. I wonder if there’s a case for re-installing the whole package and copying the data back in.

The only time LOOP2 is switched off in the code is if the station type is set to Davis Vantage Pro.
None of Davis VP code has changed in this release.

Sorry, no idea on this one, none of the FTP code has changed in this release.
We would need to start debug and FTP logging and take a look.

Interesting. So I have a Vantage Pro (OG), and the main issue I have is that if I have 1-minute barometer updates enabled, everything falls apart and it eventually loses connection with the station. But if I enable LOOP, then everything runs fine and dandy.

I’m running Revision B of the Vantage Pro firmware; it seems like maybe they harmonized the loop stuff with the VP2 firmware in this final firmware release?

But either way, if LOOP is disabled, everything chokes, but if enabled, it all works fine.

EDIT: With LOOP enabled, this is what shows up in the diags, which seems good?

Or something else weird is going on. I’m obviously not overly familiar with the inner workings of the stations :)

Well my issue with the update relates to the automatic debugging and data logging switch on when CMX is restarted. This fills up the log file with unwanted junk.

I just checked - sorry it looks like I accidently copied the debug version of the program to the zip file. I'll update it with the correct release .exe
