If there is a memory leak in the wmr300 driver, it might be my fault, so I suppose I should look into it. There is a thread from maybe a year ago where WRM300s and 200s were reportedly hanging Pi's but it seemed to be related to kernel version, so I had assumed it was a kernel driver issue

Hi Miguel, I think the problem is that you are using the standard driver, which has the history clearing disabled. You should use the version Leon has updated on Github. Once the history buffer is full then it no longer retains recent results and that is probably why you are seeing gaps. I

Hi Leon, it seems you still have a problem with the archive data. As far as I recall the history in the console does not wrap around, so once it is full then the console never saves any more. Your version of the driver is set to clear the history after it reaches 20% however your last index

I cannot see it being a version issue at all, nor any skins etc. The driver itself is reporting via debug printouts that wind speed is delivered in the USB packet as zero. So you have to look backwards towards the WMR300 console. The next step is either: 1. examine what the Vendor's Windows

Not exactly - you have only enabled debug_packet. You need to add the line debug_decode=1, which includes the data fairly directly from the USB buffer, with less processing in the driver. If the decode also shows zero values for wind in the usb input buffer then your next step should be to plug

When the wind speed is zero then the direction is deliberately set to None, so you can only check direction when there is some wind. That rule applies both to average and to gust readings. When you set debug=1 you also need to check which debug suboptions are set in the wmr300 section of the
