Seeking guidance on the output from consolewd for the Raspberry PI

I


wdoutput.txt (18.9 KB)

the CRC should be 0
if its not then something has gone wrong

also the timing should be better…than what you are seeing
the data count should be more regular, like 99

there is a davis usb mode setting you can set in the config from memory…try that

Hi Brian

I’m finding that the only way I can get any data from the weather station is to set the following line (line number 21) in config.txt. I am using the default config.txt that came with the archive.

Davis com method=2 // 1 for regular 2 for special davis serial read.

To summarise “2” results in some data but with issues, if I try “1” I get:

waking VP
requesting data
requesting data
and so on

No actual data is forthcoming…

The interesting thing is earlier in the config.txt file (line number 2), there is another reference to the same parameter with a different explanation

Davis com method=1 //1 for serial, 2 for usb data logger

I have tried setting this alternate Davis com method parameter to 1 and 2 and it doesn’t make any difference.

So we have two locations in the file which set the same parameter with different explanations which seems odd.

The other thing I noticed is that when consolewd starts up and displays the settings it’s using, the Davis com method is shown as “d”. ie

Davis com method d

This stays the same whether I set the com method to 1 or 2.

Any further thoughts?

Regards

Richard
