Cumulus Support

Odd problem - everything was working well but resited the display unit with a 5m usb lead. wind reading is still current but tcumulus temp and pressure don't match and the graphs show a straight line form, I think, the time I changed the lead. Is there a maximum distance for usb or a particular type of USB lead needed. It seem teh connection is ok because teh debug file says USB is plugged in - extract below. When closing cumulus I see a quick flash of a message saying there was an error but the message has dissappeared before I can read it all. One otehr thing I did a couple of days ago disable some strat up items - I don't think cumulus was amongst that

The diags files are more useful in situations like this. But it does look from the debug log that all is working OK. In that last line of data, the station is saying that the outside temperature is 9.6 C.

Thanks. For some reason it is now working again in different USB slot so will experiment with different slots unless it was a poor connection - Also perhaps didn't leave it long enough to get readings for the graphs after fiddling with the lead..
