Error 32701

[barryvane]

I have been running Cumulus via my laptop and Davis Vantage Vue for about a year with no problems, recently and randomly I get error 32701 at various
times of the day and night,I have checked that the hard drive does not go into sleep mode.
To resolve the issue I shut the software down disconnect the USB to the Davis, reconnect and boot up the software and all works very well for a while.
WHY should this happen, its becoming very annoying my website is chestfieldweather.com and its connected to Awekas,the Met Office and weather underground.
I have reseated the PCB in the consul and cleaned the USB connections to no avail.
When Cumulus is working its a fabulous system well done Steve, the problem has to be my PC me thinks.
Can anyone shine some light on this issue before I go any greyer or kick the cat. PLEASE ??

I believe I have read that there are problems with some versions of the Vue, where the logger does not sit firmly in the console and can become loose - perhaps that's your problem?

Have you made sure to disable USB power saving, both in the Power settings, and in device manager?

Here's a recent thread with someone with a similar problem with a Vue: https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14527

Please don't kick the cat

Thanks Steve for the mega quick response, I have disabled the USB power save mode and will see if it solves the problem.

Good call Steve my problem is solved and the CAT IS FINE Thanks for your support.

I had the same problem today with a new Davis Vantage Pro2 with Weatherlink IP. After clearing the console as it had some bad data during setup, Cumulus could not find it until I removed and replaced the IP dongle.

Where is 'Vanvouver'?

Learning troubles. Regarding the Davis IP device comment I made two posts back - I think there is no plug/connection problem with it. What may have happened was that, due to haste, I installed on my network with dynamic IP instead of fixed. Possibly someone using a phone on WiFi left the WiFi area and the IP's got re-assigned. This also happened while I was away and unable to fix it. That time it appears the Internet Provider may have rebooted my modem, because it ran OK for quite a while. Cumulus was trying to contact the Console via the wrong IP.

If using the Davis IP device, make sure the Console uses a fixed IP address..

(I corrected my location for duke. The 'C' key is next to the 'V' )

And I was still asleep and didn't make the connection
