Station settings

[steve]

It does look like the known problem with Mono on the Pi and comma decimals. The station settings passes a few items as floating point; the other screens convert them to strings.

Even with -lang en-GB ?

[steve]

Yes, it appears so. Perhaps that setting doesn't affect everything - that may be a bug.

Hi,
I changed my Rpi's locals to en-GB only with raspi-config, after a reboot i restart CMX and now i'm able do change station settings.
I set my station to WMR928 with /dev/ttyUSB0 port, no special output on Putty.
Restarted CMX but seems that no datas are incoming!
Just had some errors when trying to access dayfile or when stopping CMX.

See last reports.

I'll have to put some extra logging in to trace the data coming in from the station. Is your serial port set to 9600, 8-N-1?

[laulau]

I thought it is the software that uses the port that handles its parameters
How to do that on Pi ?

Cumulus sets the parameters in software, I don't know whether that also sets the hardware.

How to do that on Pi ?

Hopefully someone who actually knows something about Linux will be able to tell us. I am not a Linux expert!

I would have thought it would set it via s/ware? On the RPi you can use stty to read and set the serial UART parameters.

You would think so. I just seem to remember that some people have issues with Cumulus 1 occasionally if they haven't set their serial port to the correct speed for the station.

I've put some tracing of data from the console in build 3004. Turn it on by setting Logging=1 in the [Station] section of Cumulus.ini before starting Cumulus.

[laulau]

Just have a go with build 3004 on the Rpi (and Logging=1)
No progress in the data incoming (no values showing in screens) but have the same browser console error i had when trying in Win7 : (https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 14#p101714)
'La connexion avec ws://192.168.1.48:8002/ a été interrompue pendant le chargement de la page. dashboard.js:11'

[steve]

It may be something to do with this error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I'll investigate.

Hi,
I've updated to last 3005 build with Logging=1.
No changes!
CMX from Pi attached.

[steve]

The error message I quoted earlier is because it can't open the com port /dev/ttyUSB0, so there's some kind of problem with that. Wrong device name?

Hi,
This morning i build a ttl to rs232 converter(based on MAX232) to use the Pi debug port. (to be sure my rs232 to Usb is not involved)
I disabled the debug feature in inittab and cmdline.txt followed by a sudo reboot.
Started CMX on the Pi (configured with en-GB locals only)
Changed the port to /dev/ttyAMA0
Resarted CMX withe the same issue :

BTW i do a 'cat /dev/ttyAMA0'
It seems that values are incoming (not readable because it's hex displayed in ascii )
I do the same before with the serial to usb convertor with the same incomings.
