Cumulus Support

My realtime.txt (10 sec) file stops uploading on webserver after a random time (sometimes after 2 hours, 5 hours, 15 hours...). All other files are uploading OK at normal 15 min interval. This error began after I have migrated to CumulusMX (build 3038) and Raspberry PI a week ago. Before on Cumulus 1.9, all is working OK for ages.

Any sugestions? Thanks.

Turn on the logging feature so you get more detail as to what is happening. It is in Internet Settings/Web/FTP settings.

My next finding is that realtime.txt has not been updated in Cumulus folder. All other files are OK. Maybe problem in USB-Serial adapter (ws2350 station)? But why normal upload (15 min) is OK?!

Make sure logging is on, and then zip up your diags folder and attach it.

diags attached.

Concatenating the files like that makes them very hard to use! I'll have a look and see what I can see. It would be useful to know at what time realtime.txt stopped updating, though. You're getting a lot of read errors, probably due to the USB adapter, which may be causing problems elsewhere in Cumulus.

I had exactly the same problem after updating to the latest version of MX. I discovered that my power supply was operating right on the edge (an old Blackberry charger). Changed it for a higher amperage output and now it is rock steady.

Steepleian.

Yes indeed. Raspberry Pi (and similar derivatives) require a minimum of 5V@2A power supply to ensure they work correctly. I had all sorts of problems with USB on one Pi - then I discovered the supply was collapsing at about 1A load.

I have power adapter from Samsung tablet 5V/2A.
I attach new mxdiags file. Realtime stops updating at 10.04.16 06:35:08. I don't see any difference at this time in mxdiags file. OK "Readserial error" is before and then.
All other data files are updating at correct intervals and correct data.

I am starting and stoping Cumulus with ctart/stop/restart script. If I run cumulusmx.sh -c or -s diags there is all OK.

Could you clarify this, please? Are you saying that if you start MX in a different way you don't get this problem? I don't know what the difference is between those scripts, or the difference compared to just running MX directly.

Is it possible that you have two instances of MX running?

Error persist if I run CumulusMX directly (sudo mono CumulusMX.exe) or by cumulusmx start-stop script(sudo ./CumulusMX/cumulusmx.sh).
I only want to say that if I run diagnostics switch cumulusmx.sh -c or cumulusmx.sh -s, the script doesn't return any error, but the main error realtime.txt not updating still persists.

Ah, OK. Sorry, no idea, then, other than what I've already mentioned, and the fact that I don't support USB adapters with La Crosse stations, so you're on your own, I'm afraid.

Oh yes, and I have only one instance of Cumulus running.

I tried to change usb-serial adapter from stock to Aten UC-232A, but the error still exists. My next try will be finding more powerful power adapter...

I have changed power adapter, but no luck. I am geting always the same error. Realtime is not updating after some hours of running Cumulus. Other files are OK.
