Can't Change MX(3036/3038) long/lat Settings!

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.

Can't Change MX(3036/3038) long/lat Settings!

Post by cc_rider »

Greetings,
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. MX is working fine, but when I zoom in on my station in google maps, it's off by a bit. So I went into the station settings using http://localhost:8998/stationsettings.html, and it allowed me to change the long and lat fields. However, when I pressed 'save' nothing happened. Usually a dialog box pops up to tell me that it 'saved'... This did not occur. Then I closed MX (Ctl-C) and manually edited the cumulus.ini file. Saved it, and re-loaded MX. Same thing. the old data remained. This begs the question,,, does MX store the info elsewhere than the cumulus.ini file? If so, how can I make such minor changes?

Regards.

It's just stopped in the ini file. Do you get a red outline on any of the input boxes on the setup screen?

One or more items, somewhere on the page, will have an error message associated with it/them.

OK. Found it. In the Davis Section (which I do not use) there are two radio buttons. (serial and tcp/ip). Neither was clicked by default, so all the fields on the Station Settings went red.
Might I suggest that a default is used even when the hardware is not Davis. Thanks for the clues, gents. Much appreciated.

There are defaults for all settings. I have no idea why you didn't have the defaults.
