Last Station Update - Out of Date

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Last Station Update - Out of Date

Post by Synewave »

Hi Steve,

Running MX on Windows 7 for a week or so, fantastic to have this version.

The only problem I have come across is the Last Station Update seems to become outdated after a few hours of restarting Cumulus and never recovers without restarting Cumulus.

I've looked through the forum but can't find anything related.

I've attached an MX diags.

Thanks,

Paul

It looks like it's correctly reporting the last time that it received data - i.e it isn't receiving any data. In the case of the file you uploaded, it stopped receiving data 15 minutes after you started it. Perhaps you have some power saving options set on the USB port?

Thanks for the very quick response!

The station is in the same USB port that it has always been in and I didn't have the issue in Cumulus v1.9.4 .

It was plugged into a USB hub with other devices that are working fine. I checked power saving and it wasn't enabled.

I've moved it to direct USB port on the PC and checked there are no power saving options enabled, I'll see how it goes and let you know.

Thanks again Steve,

Paul

Hi Steve,

As promised, an update.

It has not failed in at least 48 hrs since I moved the station to a direct PC USB port rather than the powered USB hub.

Interesting how Cumulus 1 handled it's weirdness but very pleased it seems to be running good in the direct USB port now on C3.

Thanks for the guidance as always.
