No signal data issue

Post by TgT »

Hi!

My friend is testing out Cumulus with ws2300.
At some point he`s having signal losses and mostly temperature reports jump down to -30°C or up to 80°C

I hope something will be done to fix that instant jumps ;)

You have to retry quite a lot with the WS2300, because it doesn't like talking to the serial port, it thinks it has better things to do. I think perhaps sometimes when I reach my retry limit I forget to check, and use invalid values. I'll increase my retries, and make sure I check every time.

Thanks!

I've tweaked the retry settings in a new version here:

http://www.nybbles.co.uk/downloads/ws23 ... sSetup.exe

Could your friend please try it and see if it helps?

I'd like to add support for the data stored in the logger now - would your friend be prepared to help test that? Any other volunteers reading this?

Hi!

Well, before he had about 3 spikes per day.

Still got them but, might be also a battery issue? He`s using wireless...


Also, I told him to join this forum, we`ll see :D

The fact that the spikes are 80 (I think they were before also) should help me to find the problem, if it's an error in Cumulus. Thanks.

Oi!

While visit at his home today we found out two things...
- those signal lost spikes ( high temp jumps ) are only at graphs and all-time records but not in nov09log.txt
- he has pressure calibration, its drawn on graphs fine but in all-time records its not shown calibrated but the one received from the station, data log is fine.

The graph is updated once a minute, the all-time records are updated if necessary on every reading, but the log is updated every <whatever you have it set to> minutes.

Oh good, another calibration problem. I'll have a look...

Edit: Fixed in next build.

This is the WS2300 station we're talking about. It connects to a computer but doesn't like it, it would rather be doing other things. Sometimes when you think you've read the data you haven't. I think I have fixed this now.
