Good Afternoon, All: I have a head-scratcher that despite beating the heck out of Google, I can't find an answer.
The Hardware: Davis Vantage Pro (not the Pro2) running wired to the ISS Davis Serial Datalogger connection Dell Desktop box with a serial port Weewx / SQL database / SofaSkin skin The site it feeds: www.plnjweather.com The Problem: At random times, the ISS connection drops out (an "R" on the display), but only if I have weewx running. If I halt the process, the Davis will function normally for a week at a time. With Weewx running, anywhere from 2 minutes to 4 hours later, the ISS drops out. It's not just a data drop going to the logger; the Davis display shows "---" for all of the ISS inputs (outside temperature, wind, etc). To make matter werider....this behavior is very reproduceable. I originally had this setup running on a Raspberry Pi with a USB interface. It did it then. I switched to a desktop box with the USB interface. Same thing. Now switching to a serial interface (I purchased a serial Davis Datalogger from eBay), it's STILL doing the same thing. New installations of weewx, different config setups, etc. There are no errors in the log file, even with the verbose setting turned on in weewx. The problem seems to be coming from the Davis itself, but how on earth would the datalogger hang up the entire unit? And two different loggers, to boot? So.....suggestions/ideas/thoughts/whatever. I've about run out of ideas and spent more than a bit of time trying to hunt though this problem with no luck, so....what say everyone (besides "go get a Pro2"). :) Thank you! -Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
