MX on a Banana Pi BPI-M2

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.

Status Report:

Uptime now is about 48 hours and it is still running, updating Weather Underground using Rapid Fire, updating CWOP as normal, and sending to Twitter every 15 minutes.

Still learning the Raspbian OS and this little Pi board, but I am getting there.

I thought you might like to see that I gave a nice plug to Cumulus MX and the site here in a blog post I posted http://www.circuitspecialists.com/blog/ ... er-station

And I really meant what I said, the participation here in the forum has helped me for a long time both with the Windows based Cumus and now with MX.

Thanks All... And Steve too. :)

Thanks. And I meant what I said too, without the great group here I would have had a lot more trouble setting things up. I see so much struggle to remain civil on other forums that I frequent so I really enjoy the cooperation and teamwork that I find here.

I think I am about 10 Months into running MX on a Banana Pi M2 and I decided to finally do some updating to both the OS and MX. I updated to a newer flash of Raspian (one that allows the onboard wifi to function instead of a USB wifi stick) and I updated to the current 3038 of MX.

Everything seems to be functioning well. Weather Underground (including Rapid Fire), CWOP, Twitter and the local network pages are functional and my history is still intact.

Thanks again Steve for a great program.
