Steve, system crash requested I post MXDiag

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.

Hello Steve.
Installed CumulusMX onto Pi2B running Jessie.
Worked OK, website came up OK but no data from station.

Got it all working on Windows, switched station back to PI and Cumulus crashed, and requested zipping and posting MXDiag. Attached.

Station is WH1081, currently not connected with transmitter (new one ordered) but producing internal data ok.

You have selected a station type of 'Easyweather', i.e. input via an easyweather.data file. The crash is because of a confusion between integers and floats when reading the easyweather.dat reading interval from the Cumulus.ini file, which will be fixed in the next build. But did you really want the 'easyweather' setting rather than 'Fine Offset'?

Removed CumulusMX folder and recopied from zip file. Restarted and all is OK.
Cumulus is now reading station.
The only changes I made to the ini file (first time around) were through the web interface. Station, lat, long and latitude, and short comment.

Presumably this time you have selected a 'Fine Offset' station type rather than 'Easyweather'?
