Here's what I will do for a UPS: https://raspi-ups.appspot.com/en/index.jsp This should work nicely as I already have a 4 port Ethernet switch in place providing connectivity to a TV, an electricity monitor and the Pi, so all I need is a battery. 2017 might be my first year of completely continuous data. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

Ah, a man who likes to live dangerously!

[weewx-user] Re: FO USB
Well it will resolve some of the issues - but you will be left with a console with incorrect time, incorrect relative pressure, etc etc - all the things which you would set if you did battery removal - so you still need, I would have thought, to set date etc as soon as you can after doing the power cycle - assuming it is the true usb lock up and not just a glitch (which usually resolves itself anyway). Of course, if no-one ever looks at the console it will not be much of an issue!!!

It looks as though the FO 2650, 2950 etc are indeed the same as the Ambient observer or Aercus WeatherSleuth - but these are not the stations which have the USB issues!!! One may as well say "you can solve the usb issues by getting a Davis" just as easily as saying use an Observer!! Still it is interesting and leaves me now wondering the connection (if any) between FO and Ambient - since one associates the Observer with Ambient normally.

Your suggestion will not be guaranteed to help the usb lockup problem since you will not be removing power completely from the console if the ups battery backup kicks in, so not sure how it works as a workaround for that problem.

[weewx-user] Re: FO USB
I was not suggesting using FreeBSD - I simply mentioned that using it might contribute to overall system stability. My point was that FO supplies some of their stations with the Observer receiver module (and accompanying indoor pressure sensor). There is no indoor console required and hence no USB lockups. I don't know if someone has tried to operate any of console stations with an observer, but if it is possible it would be stable solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

I'm not. That was for Louis, who suggested using FreeBSD instead of Linux+Pi and this "Observer". I didn't know what it was either and had to do some Googling.

[weewx-user] Re: FO USB
Eh? See https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry%20Pi. It's my understanding (and experience) that the USB lockup problem is somehow a feature of the Fine Offset console. I would be a bit surprised if using FreeBSD instead of any of the commonly used Linux distros would make a difference, nor do I think it would matter what' hardware is used; I'd expect the same issue with different hosts, running WeeWX or not. But... I've only used a Pi. I do run FreeBSD but not on Pi. What is said to make a difference is a powered USB hub which will permit resetting the FO but have yet to see this properly explained, and what code if any is needed to automate this. I'm guessing the Observer is the ObserverIP here: http://www.ambientweather.com/amws1400ip.html. If so, no I don't think it's readily possible as the Ambient system transmits on 915Mhz and FO uses a lower frequency and, I'd wager, a different data format. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

[weewx-user] Re: FO USB
What is Observer? If it is a radio receiver it only partly helps FO stations as one would still need to get pressure and internal temp/humidity from somewhere as they are derived from the FO console.

That's interesting - I've never had that, just the weewx crash. My station is a WEA22 from Weathereye, which I believe is a W1080 type, so it looks like it's down to chance.

[weewx-user] Re: FO USB
Hi, Thanks for replying. I've had this station for about 3 years and this behaviour has been there from day 1. I think I've pretty much exhausted all possibilities actually. In the early days I tried a powered USB hub - no joy. I've now got this RPi in a stack with two others - fed with a bomb-proof 5V supply. I've looked at the supply line with both a digital VM and a 'scope for each RPi. Volts are dead on 5-and-a-bit after the polyfuse and ripple is very low. So, I guess it's down to "life's rich tapestry" and a quirk of this particular station. In fact it's not too troublesome, booting a couple of times a week is no big deal, esp. as I store the root filesystem for this Rpi on my NFS, so it doesn't even stress the SD card too much A final thought. I would tend to suspect the RPi as the culprit and not the console as the problem goes away (for a while) after a reboot. I've sometimes wondered if it's something to do with some weird interaction between USB and Ethernet on the RPi as they share the same hardware and both are pretty busy (however, it also happened before I migrated to an NFS file system, so maybe not).
