ObserverIP consolewd rpi3

the data should be only updating every 3 seconds anyway?
so WD on windows handled the rain data OK?
I must have something wrong in the code that I implemented for consolewd from the windows version
I have a look today
(was a busy day here yesterday, had a fatal car accident the next corner past me and I was diverting traffic to a short cut/detour)

Yes, weather display on windows got the rain data ok, but it has always worked fine.

I didn’t time it with a stopwatch, just used the one one thousand, two one thousand method. It’s only been running since the other day so I wouldn’t put much stock in my counting. It was just an observation.

re the rain problem
what I can do is add some debug info for what WD is finding and what it is doing with, the data

ok sounds good

try downloading an update (same url as before)
there is more rain debug info now

Downloaded from the link. Is it supposed to do this with the raw rain count going up each cycle?

when you say count, do you mean the repeating of the raw rain line more and more?

Yes, the repeating of the raw rain line.

I will check on that tomorrow
I am not sure until I can check the code why that would be happening

I see the problem
use a new update
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/consolewd64.tar.gz

I’m using the new updated download and it is still advancing by 1 each cycle. Is it supposed to do that?

Also the monthly startup rain is now 8.6mm but it’s showing “raw rain70.9”?

no, it should not be still doing that
re the raw rain total
consolewd stores its own rain totals (you can set the starting totals)
if you could email me the meteobridge connection settings again and open that up again I will do some testing re the advancing issue

ah, i see you have vers 12.5
vers 12.6 is the fix
but I did not update that correctly
stand by

download again now
to get vers 12.6

LOL, downloading now.

Curious, the “raw rain” reads 70.9?

that will be the rain total from meteobridge
when that increases, consolewd will increase its total
(this fix should fix the rain overread too)

Ah, yes, thanks. My meteobridge is showing that rain total for this year. Thank you.

Thanks for the help but I cannot seem to keep consolewd running for more than a few days and most of the time less than that. For whatever reason it fails with the same message and after searching it appears others have the same problem. I’ll consider trying again when the program matures some. If it becomes reliable I’d be more than happy to donate too.

Below is what it always stops on “EFCreateError : Unable to create file “/home/pi/consolewdfiles/wdconsole.ini””. The permissions are set to 777 so there is no reason it should fail to write, which is why I am confused and giving up at this point.

OK, no point carry on, since you have given up and are not willing to even donate for my time to see if I can fix this?
