A follow up: According to Peet Bros web site the Ultimeter 2100 (and several other models) emit data in 48 byte chunks in Data Logger Mode, while ultimeter.py (version .20) apparently expects 52 bytes. Could this be the problem?. Here is a snip from their web site:
- *Data Logger Mode**: to manually select, press CLEAR + WIND SPEED for 3 seconds. ** While in this mode, records are sent out continuously at up to about 120 per minute. The total record size is 48 hex digits + header, carriage return and line feed. (All models)* - *Packet Mode**: to manually select, press CLEAR + WIND CHILL for 3 seconds. While in this mode, one record is output every five minutes (at 5 min past the hour, 10 min past, 15 min past, etc.). The total record length is 52 hex digits + header, carriage return and line feed. (All models)* and this: *DATA LOGGER MODE - RECORD STRUCTURE* - *Header = !! (or || if in Multiple Output Mode) * - *Data Fields * - *1. Wind Speed (0.1 kph) * - *2. Wind Direction (0-255) * - *3. Outdoor Temp (0.1 deg F) * - *4. Rain* Long Term Total (0.01 inches) * - *5. Barometer (0.1 mbar) * - *6. Indoor Temp (0.1 deg F) * - *7. Outdoor Humidity (0.1%) * - *8. Indoor Humidity (0.1%) * - *9. Date (day of year) * - *10. Time (minute of day) * - *11. Today's Rain Total (0.01 inches)* * - *12. 1 Minute Wind Speed Average (0.1kph)* * - *Carriage Return & Line Feed * **Some instruments may not include field 12, some may not include 11 or 12. Please contact Peet Bros. if this presents any problem. Total size: 40, 44 or 48 characters (hex digits) + header, carriage return and line feed. * *PACKET MODE - RECORD STRUCTURE* - *Header = $ULTW * - *Data Fields * - *1.

Please contact Peet Bros. if this presents any problem. * *Packet Mode records are output every five minutes: first, upon selection of Packet Mode; then, at every 5 minutes past the hour (12:00, 12:05, 12:10, etc.), continuosly.* *Total size: 44, 48 or 52 characters (hex digits) + header, carriage return and line feed. * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
