update to 4.9u caused loss of USB from VantagePro2

[brianeh]

I updated to the 4.9u release on 16 April.

After the upgrade my eBox 3300 reported no data from the USB datalogger of my VantagePro2 weather station.

I just rolled back to release 4.9t and I have data again.

[admin]

newest 4.9u should have this fixed.

How do you rollback to previous versions? Better yet, once you have everything working well how do you prevent further updates when rebooting?

[admin]

Meteohub is not affected by the bug you was faced with Meteobridge.

[awekas]

Meteohub IS efected!! Problm is NOT fixed for serial Data logger! Since 6942 no connecion to logger. With WSWIN it's ok.

It's not simply a serial logger issue.

I have a serial data logger.

6942 works fine for me, both as a direct feed (i.e. to the serial port of an ALIX-1D) and daisy chained to another meteohub on a second ALIX-1D.

[awekas]

It's a issue with a special kind of datalogger firmware. Boris inverigate it.

[admin]

Reason for issue "awekas" has reported is that an envoy is used. Envoys dont reply on "NVER" command,
which Meteohub uses to determine firmware version to decide if LOOP2 protocol can be used to
read station pressure from the vantage, which otherwise only provides sealevel corrected pressure.

Newest 4.9u handles the missing reply from envoy better.

[YJB]

No sure if it helps diagnosing, but my Envoy has no issues:

[admin]

Envoy of user "awekas" does not reply on "NVER" command and the manual (version 2.5)
does also not mention envoy as being a station to expect this from.

Looks like Davis has a lot of funny/differently behaving stations/versions out there...

[YJB]

Hi Boris,

Just let me know if you want to have a look at my setup and check what is different...
