Cannot find WMR200 weather station
Hi all
I am new here but have been using Cumulus1.9.4 for several years. I now have a Raspberry Pi 3 and have successfully installed CumulusMX. I am able to run it and browse to localhost:8998 to see the gauges. However, although I have plugged my weather station to the pi with a usb cable, Cumulus insists it cannot find the station and all the gauges read 0! I note that in the settings there is no place to specify how the wmr200 is connected to the pi. I am obviously missing a simple thing. Can anyone help? I am attaching the latest mxdiag file. Thanks

Have you setup cumulusmx station settings on localhost:8998
connection serial
TCP/IP settings
ip address
tcp port 8998
Serial port name /dev/ttyUSB0
connection serial
TCP/IP settings
ip address
tcp port 8998
Serial port name /dev/ttyUSB0

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
Yes I have. I have a raspberry pi 3. When I plug the wmr200 into a usb port I do not get /dev/ttyUSB0, but /dev/ttyAMA0, so I put that into the port setting. When I fire up Cumulus, I get a wmr200 station not found error.
I noticed that the wmr200 is the 10th item in the list so on a whim I changed the type to 10 and this time I did not get the station not found error but the gauges do not update so I am not sure this is right either.
Let me know if you need more details.

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
You don't need to specify a connection type nor a serial port name ( or any of those TCP/IP settings mentioned above), it's a USB station, and Cumulus knows that.
What version of Mono are you using, and do you have libudev0 installed?

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
mono version 4.6.2 and no I don't have libudev installed. Should I install that with apt-get as well?steve wrote:You don't need to specify a connection type nor a serial port name ( or any of those TCP/IP settings mentioned above), it's a USB station, and Cumulus knows that.

I was surprise when it did not connect because the windows version 1.9.4 connected immediately.

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
There are some versions of Mono which the USB library used by Cumulus doesn't work with, as mentioned in the MX FAQ/known issues post. The 4.6 releases are apparently included in this. Someone is very kindly trying to get it to work.

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
Thanks Steve. I have removed mono 4.6.2. Could you kindly let me know how I can install the older version because apt-get will again install the 4.6 version. I should mention that the Raspbian version I have is Stretch which is probably why I am stuck with this new version. I am not that versed in Linux!steve wrote:There are some versions of Mono which the USB library used by Cumulus doesn't work with, as mentioned in the MX FAQ/known issues post.

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
Sorry, can't help with that. But there are a number of people who have done it and posted on the forum about it. There may even be a link in the MX FAQ.

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
have you tried updating your packages?
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
or
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
if mono is not fa fixed version locked down by an entry in sources.list it should update.
but you can force a version to be installed, though usually you have to uninstall mono first.
you might find the sources.list has an entry to us a specific version of mono, thus setting it to only 4.2.8 and nothing more.
I'm not 100% with Raspi OS version so their paths may differ slightly.
you need to look in the /etc/apt/sources.list or possibly the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono.list if you have one and see what distro mono is pointing too.
if your not happy with accessing linux OS's with ssh and looking about, try using WinSCP to access the linux distro from a Windows Box. it makes life alot easier to navigate, especially on a headless (no keyb/mouse or monitor) linux system

Yes I have updated and upgraded the packages and am currently uninstalling mono for the third time.
Following a post on this list, after uninstalling mono, I entered the command
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy/snapshots/4.0.5 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
and that placed an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d of
deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy/snapshots/4.0.5 main.
This would appear to be all that is necessary except to do apt-get install mono-complete which should give me version 4.0.5 but I get version 4.6.2.7 each time. My sources.list is
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
deb http://plugwash.raspbian.org/mono4 jessie-mono4 main
Which sources.list file is used, the one in apt-get or /sources.list.d?
I am at a loss now and cannot figure this out. Thanks.

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
Raspbian uses /etc/apt/sources.list.
I used this to install the latest without problem:
However, I could NOT get any older version to install this way no matter what I tried. Same deal, 4.6.2.7 installed instead.
I did finally figure out how to get 3.2.8 (which was the default for Jessie) to install in Stretch. Let me know if you want me to post how I did it.

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
Yes please do so. I think it would be useful for me and others until the problem gets resolved. I'm relieved that it was not something I was doing that was causing the problem. The reason I was looking for the older version is because of the wmr200 station not being recognized with 4.6.2.7. I wonder if it will be recognized with 5.2.0.215.Herbaldew wrote:Raspbian uses /etc/apt/sources.list.

Re: Cannot find WMR200 weather station
First, I saw a couple ways of removing Mono, but this one is the only one that worked properly for me:
For 5.2.0.215:
Add this line at bottom:
Then run:
For 3.2.8:
Delete all and paste in (this is sources.list from Jessie):
Then run:
Change sources.list back to Stretch:
Lastly you must "pin" the version so it isn't updated if you run update:
I rebooted after this just for good measure. When I ran update, a couple things updated that made me think that Mono was updating, but it stayed at 3.2.8 and worked fine.
