Weather Monitor II and wdisplay

I downloaded the consolewd64desktop.tar.gz that was changed yesterday and verified that the checksum is the same as what I’m running:
owner@owner-ThinkPad-X131e:~/Downloads$ sum consolewdfiles/consolewd
52491 2010
owner@owner-ThinkPad-X131e:~/Downloads$ cd ~/consolewdfiles
owner@owner-ThinkPad-X131e:~/consolewdfiles$ sum consolewd

owner@owner-ThinkPad-X131e:~/consolewdfiles$ ./consolewd | grep -i hum
Current data 16:07:06: Temperature= 87.4 Windspeed =0.0 Gustspeed =2.0 Direction =261 Humidity=66 Barometer=29.9 Daily Rain
Current data 16:08:18: Temperature= 87.4 Windspeed =2.0 Gustspeed =1.0 Direction =167 Humidity=65 Barometer=29.9 Daily Rain

Although now the humidity looks more or less right. It was still reading 100 earlier.

Let me let it run for a while and see if it’s working now

lol, posted too soon. Now I’m getting weird results again. If you called it something like “raw humidity”, I should be seeing the line though

no need to look for it
it should be coming out in the console data
*debug outdoor hum

have you checked the actual modified date/time on the consolewd file

2019 6 19 5:17

that should be it
I will add more debug code
I used to have a davis wmii here
not easy when you dont have one

Yeah, I understand. It’s funny that the station’s been running just fine all these years. I think I had to replace the external thermometer and humidity sensor at one point and re-crimp some of the cables, but that’s been it.

try another download update…:wink:

Looks to be working now. Did you change any of the code or just add a debug in?

no, but, I found where the problem was :slight_smile:

OK, great! Thanks for the help!

It took a while to get more than a trace of rain here, but it looks like the Daily total and rain rate are not working although all the other values look good. At this point I’m running the console code in test mode. The laptop is on battery power when it’s connected to the serial port, so I can’t leave it on 24 hours a day. I’m wondering if perhaps I’m not running consolewd long enough? Does the rain values come from the WMII or are they perhaps calculated?

I finally got a decent rainstorm yesterday and I let consolewd run for an hour. During this time, the screen on my Weather Monitor II showed .16 inches of accumulated rain. Daily Rain and Rain Rate in consolewd both stayed at 0. I’m not sure if Daily Rain is calculated over a 24 hour period, but surely the Rain Rate value should change over the course of an hour, right?

HI
I will check on the code and I could add some debug code and you could run that?

Sure, I can do that.

i might have found an issue
try a new update (for consolewd for rapsberry pi 3)

This is being run on a 64 bit Ubuntu system, not a Raspi

ah
it was not very clear
I will make the change for that one and let you know

try a new update…

Okay, I’ll give it a try. We should have thunderstorms on Tuesday. If not, I’ll just pour some water into the rain gauge
