After moving from Windows to Linux: Spike removal: Pressure difference greater than specified; reading ignored
Posted: Sun 05 May 2024 3:16 pm
Hello, I have been using CumulusMX for 10+ years on Windows. Yesterday I moved my CumulusMX 3v.3.28.6 build 328 from Windows to Linux. I have a Davis Vantage Pro2 and I have changed nothing in the Davis console and it shows data as it normally has in the past. The console is connected via USB to the Linux computer as it was to the Windows computer. Most things are working just fine but I have two problems I can figure out.
Problem 1) My pressure reading shows in Cumulus as zero. In the log file I see the following message over and over:
2024-05-05 07:53:53.549 Spike removal: Pressure difference greater than specified; reading ignored
2024-05-05 07:53:53.549 Spike removal: NewVal=30.0 OldVal=9999.0 SpikePressDiff=999.0 HighLimit=1090.0 LowLimit=870.0
I have no idea where an OldVal of 9999 is coming from. I have tried to increase SpikePressDiff but that does not seem to help.
Problem 2) I upload data to three third-parties. The upload to Weather Underground is working except the pressure is missing, which makes sense because of Problem 1 above. My upload to Windy.com does not seem to work and my upload to APRS/CWOP is not working either. I have not changed any of the settings for these three third-party integrations so I can figure out why 2 out of 3 are not working. I don't see anything in the log file in MXdiags. Could it be the data is rejected because of the zero pressure?
I have attached my Cumulus.ini and the most recent log file from MXdiags.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
