Hi everyone. I am an old hand a weather stations and typically used WeatherCat on my Mac, but in the interests of conserving energy and my love of fiddling with raspberryPis, I have moved over to WeeWX.
My brand new Vantage Vue utilises WeatherlinkIP because I wanted to access the console data on various machines on my network for various services. In any case, I have had a few issues since I started a few days ago. I found that there was a socket error at startup many times but occasionally the connection was successful- for a short time. After reading many threads on here I realised at least one error that I had made :-) I had assigned a static IP to the WLIP via the router, not realising that by entering the IP address assigned by DHCP into a web browser, I would be able to set the static IP from the WLIP config page. So after a couple of days of errors, I finally removed the static IP from the router and configured it via the WLIP config. I thought this would solve the problem, but it did so only temporarily. I checked in from my work office (40k away) this morning, via APRS, to find that a few hours ago, the data stopped flowing to APRS. I suspect that yet again the WLIP has disconect - I will check for sure when I get home but I am confident that is the case, as it has been for some days. So to my question- How do I keep it connected. I don't want to go to a serial connection as it does not suit my needs and the WLIP was ridiculously expensive. I have set debug=1 and will upload the log when I am home. Kind regards Kimberly VK2KMI -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
