Revert to Linksys firmware for NSLU2

I used Meteohub and its software on an NSLU2, then an Alex 3D3 for a number of years until my Oregon Scientific station fell apart. I'm now using Acurite Atlas and its software to display and ship data up to Underground, and finally figured out how to get a weather cam going.

Now I find I could ...

two consoles, one Meteohub device

Is it possible to connect, say, a Davis station and an OS WMR968 station simultaneously to -- in my current setup -- an Alix 3D3?

Rain and wind sensors seem to be failing on the WMR968. Temp sensors may be OK. I look at it as an opportunity to upgrade, perhaps to the Davis Vantage Vue or, at a ...

Re: Unable to access my system

I just developed a similar problem, complicated because I'm in Arizona for a couple of more weeks. The station is in Michigan.

My station wasn't reporting to WU tonight, and on checking, I see it stopped doing so at a scheduled 9 a.m. EDT reboot. That occasionally happens, but I'm able to reboot ...

Re: Indoor temperature alarm

I asked a similar question on 11 Feb 2011, in the wishes thread. I got a useful response, although I did not implement it. I don't know if this URL will take you directly to it or not: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8367&p=9560#p9560

Re: NSLU2-->Alix3D3, starting migration

Looking at my own installation, it appears that working on setup push service and graph uploads pages will work for me, assuming my Logitech 310 is truly compatible.

Re: NSLU2-->Alix3D3, starting migration

And those were more or less the steps I followed, although I encountered other forks in the path: I started out following 3D2's different direction thinking that 3D3 would be the same. I use a Mac, and unfamiliarity with the Win7 side of my Mac got in the way. I also had access to Linux but don't ...

Re: NSLU2-->Alix3D3, starting migration

The good news is that I eventually got the Meteohub running in the 3D3. The bad news is that it was a few weeks ago, I'm in a different part of the country and I can't recall what I did to make it work. At one point Boris entered the system to fix a problem, but it was somewhat up and running by then.

Rainfall doesn't update; nothing else affected

A week after it quit, I realized that I'm sending no raingauge information to Weather Underground. The last update was at 13:35 Eastern US time on 22 Jan. My WMR968 console shows 0.00, properly, I think. The Meteohub sensor list shows regular updates, every 30-60 seconds. The sensor data shows ...

Re: NSLU2-->Alix3D3, starting migration

I did this too many months ago to remember, but I believe I assumed the 3D3 installation would be similar to the 3D2 and skipped the stick. Whatever I did was with Win7, on a MacBook Pro, possibly using -- what was it? -- Roadkill? -- all at the hands of a user who knows Macs a lot better than ...

Re: NSLU2-->Alix3D3, starting migration

The IT specialist at my nonprofit wasn't able to transfer operation from my NSLU2 to an Alix 3D3, so I'm back to square one. Question: On page 16 of the manual, I'm told that Alix 3D2 is a special case, that loading the Meteohub OS into it doesn't use a stick. Does that apply as well to the 3D3, or ...

Re: NSLU2-->Alix3D3, starting migration

I’ve attempted for a couple of days to put meteohub on a 4GB CF card and into an Alix 3D3 without success.

Message from Alix to monitor:
PXE-E61 Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter.

illegal data record error message

Examining the log for another issue I've raised in the forum, I see that these entries are logged every few minutes. I'm getting wind measurements, and they're being posted to Weather Underground.

NSLU2-->Alix3D3, starting migration

When I start a backup, the Meteohub log tells me:
Mon Mar 21 09:53:11 EDT 2011: full backup started...
tar: data/weather/19*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory.
Hours later, it produces a 57mb Meteohub.backup. Is that a good backup? The correct size?

Re: Low temp alarm by email

I'm afraid so; I've no experience with scripting. I can perform tasks from a command line only if instructions are precise and clear. I've managed to install Meteohub in an NSLU2, but it was many months ago, and I've forgotten how I did it. Likewise, in this Mac, I'm curious about making Weather ...

Re: Low temp alarm by email

Doesn't that mean a computer running 24/7? My setup is Meteohub in an NSLU2 wired into the router, now sending warnings (low-battery, etc) to a laptop which is opened for various tasks several times a day. And I guess I should mention that it's a Mac. But it seems to me that the function I'm looking ...
