I have a dedicated ubuntu 18.04 LTS machine for WD and a cctv program.
The machine has a 2Gb Asus Radeon graphics card, 8Gb ram and a i5cpu at 3.6Mhz, and is connected by usb to a Davis Vantage View weather station
I have been trying to get WD for linux working for a few wee4ks now, without success. I can get WD to load up and run for anything upto about 3 hours or so then it locks up. There have been times when WD only runs for less than 1 hour before locking up.
When I say locking up, it also locks up the Ubuntu machine and I have to do a hard reset.
I was originally using the installed version of the cp210x.ko module and usbserial.ko, but was told about a modified driver cp210x.ko for linux. I then downloaded the said driver from Silabs and followed instructions on how to load /install them.
Even using the modified driver still caused WD to lockup etc.
My question now is : what do users of ubuntu 18.04 use to connect to a davis weather station, and doe WD run happily 24/7.
Thanks
