Davis Vantage Pro 2 + Raspberry PI3 + CumulusMX

[igorzo]

I installed the program CumulusMX being careful to use the mono 4.0.5, as recommended by all. After launching the program, and silky parameters on 8998 Toggle Next page to reboot I get the same response that the station does not appear. I tried to change COM ports with the same result. I state that with Cumulus conesso to PC works perfectly. What could I have missed? Grzie we potra help

What have you put for the serial port in MX? What port does 'dmesg' say your station is on (as described in the MX FAQ)?

[igorzo]

I tried plugging the COM0 to COM6 with the same result. The CumulusMX program starts and I view to the 8998 page screen, I put all the settings, but after starting the whole no data appears, and shows me absent station. With cmando lsusb the serial cable is displayed, but no data is loaded.

This will help to solve the problem please give an answer to the question.

Raspberry PI/Linux doesn't use COMX conventions for devices.

Use the already suggested, issue a dmesg command and see what it comes back with.

[igorzo]

I'm not an expert in Linux, today I installed all again, from NOOBS to CumulusMX. After starting the CumulusMX, I went on the 8998 page for the setting. I left as a serial port COM0 indicated. But the result is always the same as the start CumulusMX does not find the station. I run the command dmesg I can indicate what should I look for. Excuse me, but I'm new in this environment.

A Davis logger would normally say cp210x rather than FTDI. Do you have a Davis logger or a third party logger? Do you have any other USB device connected to the Pi?

You could just try /dev/ttyUSB0 for the serial port.

[igorzo]

On USB not be connected any other device, it states that the cable that goes from VP2 to Raspberry not be original, but the Davis AnemOS Electronics. I

[steve]

In that case, that must be your logger, so /dev/ttyUSB0 should work.

[igorzo]

Now I put the name of the serial as you indicated serial port : /dev/ttyUSB0

at page 8998, on the dashboard does not appear no data, checking on now, gauges, today / yesterday and records the parameters are now shown

Are you saying that the dashboard page has no data, but all of the others, including now and gauges, do have data?

[igorzo]

Thank you so much Steve


is now also appeared on the dashboard, it looks like he needs a bit of time before loading.

I'm having the same problem!
I use the davis vantage vue and raspberry pi 3 with serial to usb converter; Installed the cumulusMX and when I run it, this appears:

Code: Select all

Current culture: Portuguese (Brazil)
Serial: 74FECEABEB2DA94ECB5EBA0CD11A7137

But the localhost page is empty, with no data. I've already wait, but no changes happened.
I want to know if there is some command to "reset" the datalogger or other command to test if the serial/usb adapter is really working.

[water01]

Two things to check.

1) Is there a lot of data that Cumulus has to download as that may take some time (it does say downloading data in the log).

2) Have you pressed F5 or hit the refresh icon when you are on the start screen as it does not automatically refresh, so you may be sat there just watching the original start data.

If you have done both of these then send the mxdiags in and it can be looked at.
