I started a thread on "Console Locks up after a reset (Maplins N96GY) Any point trying to fix it?" ad was think of going down the raspberry pi route to listen to the signals, but in the end I basically decided to replace the unit with a EcoWitt WS2910 (Still trying to make that talk to Cum...

First job is to remember wher I put the SDR dongle whne I took it of the planefinder

gjchester

I d assumed it was a lost cause :) I've a few Pi's around (even a Zero W) and as I just moved from a cheapo RTL SDR dongle to a "proper" AirNav Radarbox my 1090 plane finder, I've even got a cheap SDR around somewhere. I'll give it a go, did you ahve to confidure the SDR much in WeeWx? Che...

Hi Thanks for the reply, Did you find the WittBoy senser needed a heater over winter, mine will go at the bottom of the garden with no power, so if it needs heat over winter I'll have to look at another option, probalby the more conventional ones Ecowitt do. It also confirms my thinking that its not...

Hi My Trusty Maplin station console has stopped reliably connecting to the PC. I can reset it, it works for a day or so (sometimes a week) then locks up, needing a reset to fix it. The console itself is fine, but when it locks up and I pull the batteries to reset it I get random alarms set, and I ha...

Thanks for the reply, slightly delayed as I changed my email address on the forum and the new email activation email seems to have got lost and it needed an administrator to help me get back in. Anyway the bearings been sat in 3-in-1 oil for about 24 hours, its slightly freed but it's "crunchy&...

EDIT: Oh and I changed the anemometer bearing. Mine stopped rotating this weekend, (its also the generic N96GY ) and I didn t think to buy spares before Maplin folded, do you know off hand what the bearing was, was it the same 5 x 10 x 4MM as in the wind direction meter? My sensor is in bits at the...

I am running CumulusMX with Debian Jessie (8.0) with no issues. The libudev0 library is required for USB stations like Fine Offset. It is not required for stations which are driven via a serial interface (virtual or otherwise) like Davis stations. It is begin replaced by libudev1, and apparently so...

Reviving my old post. Debian 8 Jessie is a no as it does not support libudev0 any longer. I've tried the various fixes I can see in the forum, however though the 'nix box can see the FineOffset in the LSUSB view Cumulus won't see it presumably because of the missing libudev. I can understand the why...

Hi why installing on a VMWARE with Debian installed and not on a Raspberry Pi2 or BananaPi, both able to run Debian 8? Power consumption of a RaspberryPi2 with just an SDCard ~ 2.0W =48W/day = 336W/week = 1,3Kw/month = 17,5Kw/year should be around 5€ for Power per year Power consumption of my Banan...

Which Atom box? I have three acerRevo Atom based PC's and all three migrated to W10 without a hitch. They have the nVidia ION graphics set and seem to work fine - using one to type this. The real issue I have is the inability to go beyond 4Gb memory on them - but they are fine for web development a...

Righty Ho. Can I have that translated to English :) My Plan is to standardise by Linux installing Debian 8 as my "default" VM OS, this has the advantage is pretty close to the Pi's Rasbian so I can steal code snippits as there's a lot of Pi users out there... That said as my locale with be...

I'm Having a general computers / network tidy up rehash. Currently I have by Cumulus v1.9.4 (1089) on a low power Atom box running Win 7 using a Maplin Fine Off Set Weather station, but it can't go to Windows 10 due to the embedded graphics. I'm also virtualsing stuff where I can to save on power an...
