I’m very pleased to report that WD for Linux is mostly working on my Intel NUC with a couple of minor bugs noticed and an issue with the data logger.
Starting from the beginning:
- I confirmed that my FTDI USB to RS-232 converter was being recognised by Ubuntu and /dev/ttyUSB0 is present.
- Started WD and was very pleased to see that polling started immediately with good data packets being received and the data counter incrementing.
- Then enabled data logging and restarted WD.
- It was here that things started to go off the rails a bit and the ‘Davis VP History Data Extraction’ window never did anything, just staying there until I clicked ‘Abort’. See attachment for screen shot.
… continued in next post.
