Meteobridge 4.9w, build 3472/VirtualVP TCP/IP not working

Post by saratogaWX »

Hi Boris,

I just rebooted the Meteobridge and received the newest firmware. Unfortunately, the newest version doesn't want to use my VirtualVP TCP/IP port which talks to my Davis VP1+ console logger. The startup looks like this
wnetd (16.03.2014 20:55:33): process started.
logger (16.03.2014 20:55:36): Historical data loaded (18 records).
logger (16.03.2014 20:55:36): data logger (version 4.9w, build 3472) started.
logger (16.03.2014 20:55:37): connect station 0 (Vantage via TCP/IP).

logger (16.03.2014 20:59:33): disconnect station 0 (Vantage): response without data
The last version I had working was V2.1 (build 3148)

Help?

Best regards,
Ken

So I tried changing it to another TCP/IP port on a different instance of VirtualVP, and got the following
logger (16.03.2014 21:15:51): Historical data loaded (18 records).
logger (16.03.2014 21:15:51): data logger (version 4.9w, build 3472) started.

logger (16.03.2014 21:16:20): station 0 (Vantage), no reading of Vantage's internal logger.
But... it's working now.

Confused...

This afternoon exactly the same here, Meteobridge was not reading the data for hours before I found out.

VVP keeps supplying data to all attached weather programs all afternoon.
But meteobridge stopped listening.
Platform: Asus WL-330N3G
RAM: 29992 kB total, 3356 kB free (88% used)
Software Version: Linux/OpenWrt 3.3.8 mips (LE), FW 1.0, MeteoBridge 2.1 (2415)

I did no reboot whatsoever. And there was no power interruption.

I treied a different approach compared to Ken:
I restarted VVP and Meteobridge connected nicely again to the same IP/port.

But I get NO new messages for the logger. Only the old are vissible.
Do not know what is the cause of all this.

Best regards,
Wim

P.S. Boris you still have the mac address and so on. feel free to take a look if necessary.

There is a way to get give VVP a pause and directly read Vantage RF data.
