Problem with Cumulus / Weather Station

Post by CBers »

Hi.

I've been using Cumulus (v1.93) with my N96FY Weather Station for a few months now, but over the weekend Cumulus stopped working.

The Cumulus system tray icon is flashing, and when I open it the ERROR light is flashing.

When I click on it to see the problem, Cumulus hangs and I can't do anything with it, other than kill the process.

When I do click on the interface, all I get is a DING sound being made.

I have changed the batteries in the remote control unit, but that seems to be responding OK, as the outside temp is changing.

Should I update to the v1.94 BETA ??

How do I access the debug files ??

Could I have some advice on what to do next please, as I am stumped.
TIA.

You'll need to reset the console, see various entries in the FAQ, e.g. http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#Cumulu ... to_kill_it

Thanks Steve, that looks like my problem.

I'll give it a go.

What about the latest beta ?? Is it "stable" enough to be used ?? When will it be in "release" ??

No-one seems to be reporting problems with 1.9.4, and actually I was thinking only last night, as it happens, that it's time to make 1.9.4 the "release" version, so I'll probably do that quite soon.
What is the option for the synchronisation please
Yes, it's the "synchronise Fine Offset reads" setting.

Thanks Steve.

Will you be making any more changes before v1.94 is released, or can I just install the BETA as is ??

Is it just a straight install over v1.93 ??

Probably not - unless someone reminds me that there's something outstanding that I haven't done that I said I would.

Yes
