Check operating of station via SSH

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Check operating of station via SSH

Post by ChaserPeek »

Hi guys,

I would ask if it exist a solution to check input data packet without web interface of CumulusMX.
Example: If I have a low battery in ISS or I have a bad receiving performance, or I have a bad connection with USB interface. Maybe can be usefull to check if all data packet are correctly in.

Exist a tool or a file to check ?

Thanks.

Hi
You can check data packets through the VP2 console diagnostic screen. Details are from page 38 of the VP2 manual. https://www.davisinstruments.com/produ ... _06312.pdf

Have a look at the Webtags in the Cumulus wiki (https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Webtags).

Towards the end (https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Webtags#Davis) there is a section about data available from DAVIS systems. Battery sensing is amongst these.

The beginning of this wiki describes the methods available to read this data.
