ReadSerial error The operation has timed-out

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.

ReadSerial error The operation has timed-out

Post by jank »

This morning I had to turn on debug Loggin in the Cumulus.ini file to check something and I recognized errors I am not seeing when having Debug Loggin off.

It is a USB/Serial Adapter connected to a WS2350 Weatherstation. All the Weatherstation readings are okay, no other problems occured.
Is it something I should complain or is it absolutely normal ?
Steve, don't waste your time to explain this error, a short "Ignore it" would be enough, in case I can ignore it.

Ignore it ;)

It just means there wasn't any data available to be read at that moment. It happens a lot with La Crosse stations, they don't like letting go of their data. Cumulus sometimes has to retry several times.
