I’m trying to migrate from Weather Display, for a Davis WMII on an old Win98 pc, to consolewd, on a Raspberry PI with a USB to serial dongle, and having problems. I would appreciate any ideas on how to fix it.
I’m getting erratic reports. Seems to be mostly with humidity, wind gusts and pressure. It is sometimes correct but takes violent swings. I was thinking it is getting corrupted on the line. I’ve tried adjusting baud rate via stty but it didn’t seem to have any effect. I have the dongle directly connected to the R-PI. I tried using a powered usb hup but the R-PI won’t recognize it on the hub (I’m thinking that is a problem with the hub). The dongle I’m using is “TRENDnet USB to Serial Converter”.
I moved things over to a newer Raspberry PI (R-PI 2, a little over a year old) that I have and, so far, it looks like the same problem. Do you think I need to get a new serial to USB converter? If so, is there a recommended brand?
I was just wanting to know what raspberry pi version as there are 2 versions of consolewd
one for pie 1 and 2 or pie 3
the problem is likely the data is sometimes getting out of sync
what I will to do is to add in more checks for that happening
