Re: [weewx-user] Can't get weewx working on a new server
If it works on your old computer, but not the new, then there is something wrong with the RS232 port on the new computer, or the driver that supports it. Whatever it is, it is intermittent, as the computer is able to occasionally communicate with the console. A few things to try: 1. If the computer has more than one RS232 port, try a different one. 2. Do you have a serial-to-usb converter? If so, you could use that instead. 3. Check dmesg, just to make sure the kernel isn't trying to tell you something. Simply type "dmesg" and check the last 10-20 messages or so. 4. Perhaps your new computer has more RF noise than the old? You could try some ferrite coils around the serial cable. 5. Finally, it is conceivable that your new computer has an odd default configuration for serial ports. To see what it is using, try this: *stty -a -F /dev/ttyS0* (From the log, it looks like you're using /dev/ttyS0, but substitute as necessary.) Configuring serial ports is an ancient black art with its roots in the 1970s and I don't pretend to be an expert.

[weewx-user] Can't get weewx working on a new server
Hi all, I'm trying to move weewx to a new computer but getting nowhere fast. The weather station is a Vantage Pro2 with serial data logger (not USB) communicating with an RS232 port on my old Dell D520 running Linux Mint 17. I'm shifting my server functions to a new fanless mini-PC with RS232 ports. The old setup was installed around 2012 and I don't recall updating it (other than the OS) since. The new installation is weewx 4.2.0. I tried the .deb package; when I couldn't get it working I purged it and tried again with the setup.py method and Python 3. The file structure now looks rather like the old setup. Anyway, I can't get the new installation to work. No html page is created. Here is a snippet of output from dmesg: Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: Get_data_with_crc16; try #1 failed: Expected to read 3 chars; got 2 instead Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: Timeout in get_data_with_crc16 Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: Gentle wake up of console successful Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] ERROR weewx.drivers.vantage: No received from console Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: Rude wake up of console successful Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: ISS ID is 1 Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.drivers.vantage: Hardware name: Vantage Pro2 Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.engine.StdTimeSynch Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Finished loading service weewx.engine.StdTimeSynch Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.engine.StdConvert Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] INFO weewx.engine: StdConvert target unit is 0x1 Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Finished loading service weewx.engine.StdConvert Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.engine.StdCalibrate Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Finished loading service weewx.engine.StdCalibrate Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.engine.StdQC Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Finished loading service weewx.engine.StdQC Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.wxservices.StdWXCalculate Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.manager: Daily summary version is 2 Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Finished loading service weewx.wxservices.StdWXCalculate Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.wxxtypes.StdWXXTypes Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Finished loading service weewx.wxxtypes.StdWXXTypes Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.wxxtypes.StdPressureCooker Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Finished loading service weewx.wxxtypes.StdPressureCooker Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.wxxtypes.StdRainRater Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Finished loading service weewx.wxxtypes.StdRainRater Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.engine.StdArchive Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] INFO weewx.engine: Archive will use data binding wx_binding Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] INFO weewx.engine: Record generation will be attempted in 'hardware' Nov 26 15:56:23 XCY weewx[3380] ERROR weewx.engine: The archive interval in the configuration file (300) does not match the station hardware interval (60).
