Re: number of processes?

Just to add another set of stats! I run three instances of CumulusMX on a Pi 4 (32 bit OS). It's been running for several days ( it auto restarts the three CMX instances on Monday 1 a.m.) and I have the following: Main weather station (Ecowitt WH65 with additional temp (2 off) plus WH57 Lightning de...

Re: Clock and weather display

I have not tried it on 64 bit OS and I suspect that the pygame module hasn't been ported to 64 bit - or there are issues with the porting. I wrote (or modified an existing clock application - mentioned in my Github blurb) to make use of a small RPi and pi 7 inch LCD screen, using the available 32bit...

Re: Extra Sensors error on connection

Another thought - have you checked that your Ecowitt device has mapped the extra sensors correctly? From the Ecowitt phone app (Sensor ID) you should check that they are displayed and also showing their ID. If they are connected properly they should show an indication of their battery status and sig...

Re: Extra Sensors error on connection

Your ecowitt setup is missing the path?

Mine has /station/ecowitt in that field.

Re: Clock and weather display

I'm not sure if the pygame folk have changed it to handle 64 bit RPi hardware/sw. I haven't tried it at 64 bits myself - don't have a spare Pi4 hanging around!

Re: Ecowitt HP 2560_c

Yes you should select HTTP (Ecowitt) on CumulusMX and set the Ecowitt Console with the correct info for your CumulusMX system (IP address and port - should be 80 usually!)

Re: Ecowitt HP 2560_c

I have the 2551 console reading data from my WS68 (and associated CO2 sensor and lightning detector). I collect the data from a GW1000 gateway but it is possible to use the console to provide data to CumulusMX via the Custom Protocal setup on the console. Just check your console/manual if it provide...

Re: AirQuality charts

Just tried MS EDGE on Windows (the Firefox was under Kubuntu 22.10). There is an additional character (a 'grave' accent). In Edge this is displayed above the . of 2.5 but no sign of a vertical line !

Re: AirQuality charts

Andy - you may want to check your encoding for the PM2.5 as there appears to be an additional character before the 2 which is dsplayed over the M of PM. (At least on my Firefox browser). The PM10 does not have the same issue.

Re: Problems installing on Pi B+

That would make sense as the 'desktop' version of 'BULLSEYE' would have many other processes running = which aren't needed for running CumulusMX.

Glad to see you got it running !

Re: Issue running multiple instances b3220

Additional info.

This is the log for the first station changed (WH65).

It is still running normally!

Issue running multiple instances b3220

I just downloaded b3220 and started to install. I run three instances of CumulusMX on my Pi4 each with it's own weather station. I stopped one instance, copied the b3220 kit over, duplicated the image to be WH65.exe - I like to be able to identify the running process easily. I restarted it and off i...

Re: Cumulus reports air quality data although sensor not connected

Did you stop and restart CumulusMX after you 'removed' the WH41 ?

Re: New Record? Post here.

It got down to -11.5 C just before dawn here today. We live on an east facing slope which doesn’t help either :D
