I am running: root@raspberrypi:~# uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.19+ #858 Tue Mar 15 15:52:03 GMT 2016 armv6l GNU/Linux
and its an older PI 2 only.
I recompiled both libhid and libusb following the instruction shown on the first page of this post. It did not help.
Back in 2 years ago, I did not compile the libhid and libusb, as I recall, you shared these and i just downloaded from your site that time, but never compiled then. i just tried to recompile only now.
done that…
it went through the process
I even rebooted
but its still 4.1.18
and consolewd still works
maybe the 64 bit OS has not been updated?
I could try updating my raspberry pi 1
yes, it can be that the 64 bit variant is running a bit behind or like with some other linux distros, maybe some application is preventing you to upgrade it.
OK lets see with the older one.
pi@raspberrypi ~/consolewdfiles $ pwd
/home/pi/consolewdfiles
pi@raspberrypi ~/consolewdfiles $ ls -la clientraw.txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 0 Jul 9 09:55 clientraw.txt
pi@raspberrypi ~/consolewdfiles $
please note that unit dont have the water / wind sensor unit connected(battery died some month ago). Only the outside temp sensor unit is connected via wireless link.
OK, the data is synced OK, the 5A at the start is what is to be expected
the barometer data is this data:
FF 22
FF 23
which are both NULL 255
which points to a hardware issue with the barometer (its basicly out of range/not working or similar)
and because of that , the program is ignoring all the other data
(I could make this special version carry on so you at least get outdoor/indoor temperature?
OK, I thank you million times, and now we all know that if some of the data is missing because of disconnected units or faulty sensors we have such issue. Actually now I will use this test variant, as I really like this way, if i lose connection to some of the wireless sensors, I will still have data to monitor.
Image shall fit onto 8 GB SD card (this is where I created it from) but I suggest to use a 16 GB instead. Username/pass are RPi default (pi/raspberry). SSH is enabled.
I just download it, and the only thing it has is a file. Here is a screen shoot . Maybe I’m doing something wrong.
What version of the Pi is this image for?
Unzip and restore the image to the SD card. Plug the SD card to your RPi and set the config.txt file in the consolewd directory.
Image was created from the 8 GB SD card but the size may slightly vary. I suggest you use a 16 GB SD card.
I’m not sure what the “Irox station type” is…I google searched and I believe it is a different weather station. Will this setup for the RPi be compatible if I’m using the Davis Vantage Pro 2?
I don’t have it on my RPi right now, but it goes something like:
cd consolewd
nano config.txt
This is the consolewd’s configuration file. Please check out the comments in the file. For Davis station, you must set value 31 in line 1. Check other settings as well.
