Last Station Update and WXNow.txt

Post by dtreharn »

I have a Vantage Vue and IPlogger. I am running CumulusMX on a Raspberry PI 4B. I had everything working for a week or so, then problems showed up. First, it was "Minimum data set of pressure, temperature, and wind is not available and NoSensorCheck is not enabled. Skip processing".
With the latest build, 3099, that is not going on. The data now looks like it is coming in ok, but the Website is only showing Last Station Update at the nearest 30 minutes from last program start. Wxnow.txt is also not updating every minute. The wind measurements do seem to be changing, but unsure on the temperature, as the temperature has been pretty steady today. Does anyone know why I am not getting the Wxnow and last station updates? When all worked, it was only 2 seconds behind the CumulusMX update.

Below are files from the diag run and the Wxnow.

Thanks.
David

Scrap that previous message, looking at log files on your phone isn't a good idea.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried several Disconnect times, and nothing seems to work. I now have it at 1,800 seconds, or 30 minutes. What I see in the current log is that there is an initial data package received when reconnected, then data seems to be missing. The initial data package is giving me some wind updates, but not showing any temperature updates or WxNow updates.

I have removed the CumulusMX program and reinstalled it, but no avail.

I am very open for suggestions!

Regards,
David

Is this a Davis IP logger you are connecting to?

If so, I'd try resetting it - batteries out of the console, power disconnected for10 seconds or more, power back up again.

Resetting it did not appear to solve the issue, but turning off the periodic disconnect is working, If I select ANY periodic disconnect, then the Loop2 works, but the Loop 50 fails.

Here are some details to what I found. I am seeing a disconnect after good Loop2 data and the Loop 50 command is ack'd. No reconnect for 10 minutes later, where it connects, gets the Loop2 data, sends the Loop 50, then disconnects, only to reconnect 10 minutes later again.
I updated mono and updated the program to the v3.9.5 package 3100.

File 20210116-165134.txt: Periodic disconnect = 1800

I am not sure how I managed to break the program, as it used to work. Anything can be done to repair this, please?

IPlogger with FW version = 3.0 ???? dont think so. WLIP is version 1.1.x

Apologies, my bad, I mis-remembered how the disconnect interval worked. Yes is disconnects every minute, the interval just tells it how long to disconnect for in seconds.

Update, can you enable Debug AND FTP logging please (I know you aren't using FTP, but it will give me additional information)

Hi,
Yes, I am up to date with WLIP_Updater_115. That is as far as that old IP Logger has.

I loaded in 3,000 as the Periodic disconnect, it was 600.

I have taken the ftp log as well, but not much in it, I am afraid.

Regarding the periodic disconnect time: You originally told me that 60= a disconnect every minute. When I set it to 600, the program did attempt a disconnect every 10 minutes. Your recent note indicated the reset time was the time of reset in mS, so 3,000= 3 seconds. I have set the timeout to 3,000. What I see in the data is the program waiting 50 minutes to send the connect and disconnect. Please see 20210118-153238.txt for the 3,000 data. (Odd that Loop2 never activated in this log...)

I reset the Periodic disconnect and restarted the program and the log, 20211018-163330.txt. With nothing else but setting the periodic disconnect to 0, the Loop2 and the Loop 50 functionality is restored.

I do think your original statement that the Periodic disconnect interval is in seconds is accurate, but something is amiss with the functionality.

Thanks for your time in looking at all of this.

Regards,
David Treharne

Just passing along my experience with an IP logger.
My recollection from very old WeatherlinkIP discussion on the forum Steve indicated the disconnect was every minute.

Originally, when I got my WiFiLogger a few years ago, there were quite a bit of issues with CumulusMX access refused, but after some changes by Mark CumulusMX has been rock solid and working fine and no disconnect issues at all. I eventually set the disconnect at 15 to allow WiFiLogger to do the various uploads, which I had understood is in seconds. I've captured a few MXdiags entries at the 1-minute interval and 5-minute FTP update.

Code: Select all

You are correct Paul, the disconnect interval is in seconds, I should get some sleep!
