I presume you mean the 600/300 log entries above and not the LOOP errors below. The two entries above mean that the archive interval set in your console (600 seconds) does not match the archive interval under [StdArchive] in weewx.conf. When such a disagreement occurs weeWX defaults to using the console value, so in your case it uses 600 seconds and you will find that you have archive records being saved to database (and reports being generated) every 600 seconds (10 minutes). If you want to change this to 300 seconds (5 minutes) you will need to change the archive interval in your console. As with the wind direction offset this can be done through the console buttons or using the wee_device utility. For wee_device it's the same process as setting the wind direction offset, but this time you would use the --set-interval action <http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_archive_interval46>. > Jan 8 11:07:14 Weatherpi weewx[750]: vantage: LOOP try #1; error: > Expected to read 99 chars; got 0 instead > Jan 8 11:07:19 Weatherpi weewx[750]: vantage: LOOP try #2; error: > Expected to read 99 chars; got 0 instead > Jan 8 11:07:28 Weatherpi weewx[750]: vantage: LOOP try #3; error: > Expected to read 99 chars; got 0 instead > Jan 8 11:07:33 Weatherpi weewx[750]: vantage: LOOP try #4; error: > Expected to read 99 chars; got 0 instead > Jan 8 11:07:33 Weatherpi weewx[750]: vantage: LOOP max tries (4) exceeded. > Jan 8 11:07:33 Weatherpi weewx[750]: engine: Caught WeeWxIOError: Max > tries exceeded while getting LOOP data. > Jan 8 11:07:33 Weatherpi weewx[750]: **** Waiting 60 seconds then > retrying... > As for the LOOP errors, that indicates that your RPi is not able to communicate with your console. You have had it working and the vantage stations tend to just work so go through some basic checking (is it plugged in is something else interfering, unplug/plug in the station again, stop then start weeWX). Remember monitor the log, it will tell you what is going on. A useful approach can be to have two terminals open; one for issuing commands and one for monitoring the log with the command: $ tail -f -n 20 /var/log/syslog This shows you the last 20 lines of syslog then automatically displays any additional log entries as they occur. Makes it easy to see what happens when you issue commands. Gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
