child process received timeout signal; everyday **solved**

[glennpm]

Hi,

I have a Davis Vue and recieve input to CumulusMX wirelessly. Each day for many days, I lose the connection to CumlusMX. The logger restarts so my Meteobridge shows live data. Would like guidance please on what to look for.

I run Windows 10; computer is always on, no sleep; USB power is continually supplied, noting that I receive data wirelessly

From the CumulusMX diagnostic file for today:

"2017-03-24 14:10:00.423 Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 3/24/2017 2:10:00 PM raindaystart = 4.44 rain counter = 4.44

Hi,

I've traced my problem to my wireless router's time check/adjustment. I was unable to get CumulusMX to remain connected consistently throughout a day.

I've reverted back to using Cumulus and occasionally Weatherlink. There is no issue with Meteobridge in this regard.
