Switch to normal running on terminal

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.

Switch to normal running on terminal

Post by ER Man »

Running MX on Pi 2, when station is connected and uploading data the last line on the Terminal states
"Change to normal running" - how or what do you have to do to change to normal running. Could this have anything to do with the station shutting down at midnight every now and again when "Log rollover" is set to midnight.

You don't have to do anything - it's telling you that it's finished the logger download and is now reading live data.

What do you mean by "the station shutting down"? Do you mean that Cumulus exits unexpectedly? If you zip up the MXdiags folder and attach it, I'll take a look.

Thanks for the quick reply Steve. My station can run for 2 or 3 days sometimes more then the data flatlines on wow site, and I have to CTR/C and restart again. You'll have to bare with me on zipping file, I will get assistance and post asap. Thanks again

It looks like the console just stops sending data. Do you have it connected directly to the Pi, or via a powered hub? Are you using an adequate power supply?

You could turn on data logging, that might give some more clues.

On a separate issue - you appear to have an ftp misconfiguration, the ftp server is refusing the connection.

The console has a direct connection to the pi, both use their generic power supplies. The pi is wired to a router which sits beside it. FTP misconfiguration? This is above me, but I will recheck all settings on Station and Cumulus to see if they are the same on the next flatline. So far since posting the station has stayed on line!! Thanks for checking Steve much appreciated.
