Ambient Weather WS-2080 Data Input Appears to have stopped

Post by treeless »

When starting Cumulus v 1.9.4, I get an "Ignoring dubious relative pressure reading, using offset of zero instead." error. Ok, the relative pressure setting is off, or the barometric pressure sensor is off.

After about 2 minutes I get a "Data input appears to have stopped" error, which repeats each minute. However, Cumulus is updating the data correctly.

When this is occurring, Weather Underground updates on start-up, but stops (when the "Data input" error starts) unless Rapid Fire is on.

Any idea on what's going on?

You have some kind of communication problem between your PC and your station. If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I can take a look, but I may not be able to say any more than I already have.

I can't say any more than that you have a problem with USB or with the station itself. Make sure that you don't have any USB power saving options enabled.
