Communication rate with VP2 console

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Communication rate with VP2 console

Post by millguy »

When running ver. 1.9.4, the wind speed displayed on the computer changes nearly instantly with what is on the console.
With the MX Beta software it lags about 2 seconds.
I have tried changing the VP2Sleepinterval in the .ini file, but no noticeable change.
Is there any way to speed the communication rate in MX?

MX will be actually be receiving the data from the console with less delay than Cumulus 1. The delay on the display will be because MX currently sends the data to the browser every 3 seconds, so when the browser update is out of sync with the reading of the data, there could be a lag of up to 3 seconds between the console and the Cumulus display. I do intend to make the update interval configurable, with an option to update the display when new data arrives, rather than based on a timer.
