I am trying to get back into Linux after several years away. I recently
installed CentOS 7 on a Dell OptiPlex 790. It has an Intel i5-2400 3.10
ghz process and 4GB of RAM. I installed weewx 3.9.2 from the rpm package.
I have a Davis Vantage Pro2 model 6162 weather station. It has a wireless
console with the data logger. I recently upgraded the console firmware to
v3.80. The computer is dual-boot with Win7 Professional 64-bit on the
other side. I have been using the Davis Weatherlink software to uploaded
data to their website which then disseminates it to CWOP and Wunderground.
I have not been able to get weewx to upload similarly. I am using FTP with
the same parameters entered in weewx.conf as I have in Weatherlink. I
recently upgraded the kernel to 5.3 after reading some information
indicating it might have better hardware support but that did not help.
The Davis console is connected to the computer with a USB cable. In CentOS
it is connected at /dev/ttyUSB0. I can enter wee_device --info and get
various error messages regarding the console sleeping/waking up. I will
copy two of these messages below along with a sample of the log. The
console will usually wake up after 2-3 attempts like this. I have been
reading blog posts and have seen several instances of similar behavior but
I have not found an exact match for what I am experiencing nor have I have
a clear solution. I appear to be able to FTP to the Davis site manually.
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks, Kevin
