you'll have to watch the repository. i pushed driver version 0.19 yesterday (commit 760d55d4a318402698e28f09a56b67db338a644f) https://github.com/weewx/weewx/commit/760d55d4a318402698e28f09a56b67db338a644f the reset seems to cause problems on more configurations than the minor improvement it makes on one arm configuration. the sleep timings seem to make no difference at all. the udev hid release command posted earlier is a no-op - it probably *would* help, but on linux systems we can release the kernel from the code so there is no need to do it via udev script. the functionality/features of the te923 driver is quite stable. unfortunately, the implementation seems to be stable on some platforms, but not on others. for example, the usb reset was helpful on an arm based system running debian 7, but when i started testing on a different type of arm running ubuntu 14.04, the reset caused problems. there are also some timing issues when doing repeated interrupt reads, and these might be due to ubuntu/debian differences, or they might be due to differences in the underlying libusb/pyusb implementations. unfortunately i have only one configuration on which to test. so feedback from other te923 users is *greatly* appreciated. but that feedback needs to be about the latest driver and the configuration on which it is running. it would be nice to configure a bunch of virtual machines or containers and set up automated unit tests for the driver... m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
