HOWTO: ConsoleWD for Raspberry Pi Setup Instructions - Old version

windy2 · 20 August 2018 23:02

with it plugged in, you would need to set the station type to wmr300

Hi Brian,

Wmr300 code is 235 correct ?

Thank you

windy2 · 21 August 2018 18:17

my bad, you are right
the problem is , try setting the station type as 234 instead

punkrow · 22 August 2018 07:53

ok Brian, as soon as i have my raspberry pi back i will try and i will let you know.
Thank you.

Hi Brian,

my raspberry pi just came back and I’m trying your suggestion of setting the parameter Station type raw=234. Unfortunately it is not working and I’m getting this error:

Do you have any suggestion? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you very much

looks like a usb/hid driver problem
you could try disconnecting then reconnecting the usb plug to the station

Profuse apologies, it has taken me a long long time to get back to this. I now have the Gui working (wdpi) and I have ./consoelwd running on the command line…so I am connecting to the Davis, the dials are spinning, the time is set correctly but the Data Received continues to show 0!,I can see the raw output coming in on the terminal…but no increase in data received and graphs only showing straight lines.

What have I missed?

dunbrokin · 2 January 2019 05:02

I should have included a screen shot…now attached!

Also, how do I run this headless…do I just let ./consolewd run from the command line?..ok got this sorted now!

windy2 · 3 January 2019 21:43

so the current conditions are correct?
if you run wdpi from the terminal, does any errors show when it should be updating the data every minute?
I wonder if its a permissions problem

Andre_Germain · 4 January 2019 02:09

dunbrokin: Do you confirm that both our installations are showing correct dial movements, but graphing and data quality are not. Do you have extra Davis sensors as I have?

I came over to this thread as you had indicated on mine.

Cheers

dunbrokin · 4 January 2019 03:35

Yes i confirm that the the installation is showing correct data and dial movements…I do not have any extra sensors

dunbrokin · 4 January 2019 06:01

This is what I get when I run it in the terminal.

windy2 · 4 January 2019 22:17

is there any more error messages after what you posted?

dunbrokin · 5 January 2019 00:01

Nope…that was it!

dunbrokin · 5 January 2019 03:51

Next Problem:

Where do I find the files that I upload to my website on the Pi? On my old linux system these were /wdisplay/webfiles etc?

dunbrokin · 5 January 2019 06:07

It appears that I am running into same problem with Weather Underground as was pointed out elsewhere: http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/64977

WU not updating every 5 mins. It updates immediately if you do it by hand…but the config file does not update it every 5 mins as specified.

windy2 · 5 January 2019 18:33

there is a webfiles folder
and a datafiles and logfiles folder
just like the linux version

re wunderground
it does work for others
maybe you do not have it correctly set in the config.txt

dunbrokin · 5 January 2019 21:33

Here is a copy and paste from my config.txt file…I have blanked out the password. I don

windy2 · 5 January 2019 23:48

not sure why not working for
do you see the auto running cronwu sending data in the terminal window every 5 minutes
what other things do you have set to update too (the more info you can provide, the better)

renol00 · 23 January 2019 14:24
