Update 4.9u

[cgn]

OK, works now.

Boris has now fixed the bug. If you update box once more WSWIN export works well. (no new build number)
currently build 4.9u (Build 6933)
I confirm export works well now.

Any news about the VP2 pressure sensor bug ?

[admin]

This should also be fixed now.

I am having a problem with the internal sensors on a Vantage Pro2 with update 4.9u.

I have two weather stations with two instances of meteohub running. The issue only occurs on one of them:

Station 1:
Vantage Pro2, firmware version 3.00
Meteohub running on a meteoplug
Version 4.9u (both 1st and 2nd release) works with no issues

Station 2:
Vantage Pro2, firmware version 1.90
Meteohub generic x86 running as a virtual machine
Version 4.9t worked, the first update to 4.9u worked, the second update to 4.9u (after it was re-released) stopped reporting the Indoor sensors. Tried re-installing 4.9u (2nd release), still did not report indoor sensors. Back-levelled to version 4.9t and indoor sensor worked again. Tried going back to 4.9u (2nd release), and indoor sensors stopped working again. I don't see anything obvious in any of the logs to indicate a problem. No thb0 readings are listed in the "Inspect Data" page since the upgrade to 4.9u (2nd release).

[admin]

did you try the latest release from yesterday night?

[bjcatlin]

The "2nd update" that did not work on the 2nd weatherstation was downloaded and installed about an hour before my last posting.

[admin]

Can you please give me access on ports 22 and 7777?

LOOP2 packet of your Vantage does look like this:

Code: Select all

4c 4f 4f 3c 01 ff 7f ca 75 f9
02 15 5c 01 05 ff 62 01 56 00
44 00 16 00 15 00 ff 7f ff 7f
1b 00 ff 49 ff 22 00 1d 00 ff
00 00 00 ff ff 7f 00 00 ff ff
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
02 7f 00 ef ff 00 00 00 00 00
00 ff 07 08 14 15 13 15 04 39
08 03 03 ff 7f ff 7f ff 7f ff
7f ff 7f ff 7f 0a 0d 47 9f

Positions 67/68 represent station pressure and this is NULL at your station.
I don't know why the station does report this. Do you have altimerter settings
OK in the console?

[bjcatlin]

The barometric readings on the console are reporting just fine. It was successfully reporting data with the original LOOP command (even though it was the "adjusted" pressure readings). I am going to reset my console and datalogger and see if that makes any difference.

[admin]

I added code that does the old back-computation (from sea level back to station pressure) when LOOP2 does not provide data.
Do you have a Vantage Pro 2 or an older Pro?

[bjcatlin]

This is a Vantage Pro 2 (cabled version). I've reset the console and datalogger, and I am now seeing all of the indoor sensor data in meteohub.

[admin]

Pressure data is still not comming in via LOOP2 protocol, but Meteohub now uses back-computed LOOP data instead.
May be this is an issue with all cabled Vantage Pro 2? I dont, know.

[bjcatlin]

It appears that there is new firmware (ver 3.12) available for the somewhat older Vantage Pro2 consoles (Manufactured after April 2006). I will give that a try and report back here.

[bjcatlin]

Version 3.12 firmware for the Davis Vantage Pro2 consoles does appear to fix the problem with the LOOP2 command. Data being transmitted to CWOP looks to be much more accurate now with the barometric readings.

I was a bit nervous about upgrading to 3.12, as I have a very old datalogger. This datalogger doesn't work in the newer consoles (which ship with firmware version 3.00+). So I was afraid that the datalogger would stop working when going from 1.90 to 3.12. However, everything is working perfectly, and my old datalogger is still functional.
