Wind Speed Issues since Upgrade.

Post by Phil23 »

Seem to have issues with Wind Speed on my VP2 since I upgraded on 2nd.

Upraded all 3 of my stations to 3257.
Both Ecowitts on their own Pi's seem Ok, but the Davis VP2 connected to a Win10 Laptop is showing no Wind Speeds in either the Graphs or YADR since 02nd of November, (Upgraded before rollover on the 3rd).

Noticed this in the Diags before a restart -0.1?

I thought this was resolved with a reboot, but it's still an issue.

I can see Wind Speed varying on the VP2 Console, but the Gauge is remaining stuck in 14 km/h atm.

Further Info,

Just shut down CMX & Ran a VP Live that's also on the host PC.
All appears normal.
The VP live reading tracks with the Console.

Restart CMX & it seems to take an initial reading & then sits on that value.

But this seems to be unique to the Win10/VP2; Both my Ecowitt's on Pi's are fine.

It sounds like the same problem as in this thread, the next build will have a fix, until then I suggest you revert to v3.26.0

Just need to Clarify the Best way to down grade.

I do have a copy of the complete Directory before backup.

Assume I can proceed like this:

Code: Select all

Rename Current Working Dir.
Rename Backup back to C:\CumulusMX\
Copy Data Dir to Working Dir above.
Do the same ini Cumulus.ini
Anything else I need to copy over the the Previous Versions Dir?

That should do it, you do not need to copy the Cumulus.ini back though, the one in your backup will be fine.

Went back a version a few days ago & everything appeared fine again.

Website Realtime Gauges working & other data & charts now upgrading.

Noticed yesterday that the Console page is not receiving data though,
Ie Http://localhost:8998

Anyone suggest what the issue might be?
