Cumulus crash

Post by malone »

I woke up this morning to find Cumulus stopped and instructions to send the bug report to this forum.

In the diags file it says "station not responding" when the error started. I wonder whether this is the dreaded USB problem mentioned in the first thread above?

Quite possibly; did Cumulus manage to reconnect when you restarted it? If not, it's likely to be the USB problem and you'll need to reset the station.

The crash is in the debug log code. The debug log code is known to crash if left on for long periods - are you running with it turned on permanently?

Yes Steve - I have had the debug log on permanently, although I've been deleting the file every day or so to prevent it getting too large. I've now turned it off.

I was inaccurate when I said Cumulus had "stopped" and "crashed". It hadn't. It was still ftping web pages and appeared to be fine except is wasn't reading any new data from the station. Exiting Cumulus and restarting and everything went back to normal. So it may not be the USB problem it was just the debug log feature.

Thanks for that.
