Cumulus Support

Very odd! if you have turned it on, you should get

* * * * Logging Disabled

* * * * Logging Enabled

Then you see it try to communicate with the USB.

Enabled it, and then restart Cumulus, wait 30 second and close down. Don't disable before closing down

hopefully the log will have more content

Sorry, ignore the repeat post of the log file.

"Then you see it try to communicate with the USB.

Not sure I understand that last line. Do I connect the station to the computer before or after starting Cumulus?

Did you get it to work?

Ok, Let's start a fresh.

Reboot your PC
Do not start EW or Cumulus
delete the debug.log file in the cumulus folder
Plug in your Weather Console to the PC via the USB
Start Cumulus
Click Configuration and click "Debug Log" so that it is ticked.
Close down Cumulus, wait a few seconds and restart Cumulus
Wait about 30 seconds then close Cumulus back down

Hopefully you debug.log file will contain some data which you can share with us.

Progress! When I run Cumulus, the current temps and winds are shown (not rainfall). The debug.log file is large...I'll copy a few lines (is it possible to attach files here?).

these lines are repeated several times, then this

Excellent. Turn your debug log off otherwise it will get huge. You can delete the file too

We just need to wait on some rain then!

We're getting there, but I think there's still a problem (or a lack of knowledge here)

1. When I plugged in my station just now, it downloaded only the 3 data records since I disconnected earlier. The station contains ~2600 records; why aren't they all downloaded?

2. It's been raining all day; my station shows .18" today, but Cumulus shows 0.

See if this helps....a question in the
FAQ

Yes, that did it. I think I'm saturated for now; I need to absorb these lessons. I think everything is working OK, so many thanks for your help.
