Errors in data reception from ISS, when other transmitter fails - advice required

Post by RoostWeather »

Hi,

I've experienced an issue lately with the data in Meteobridge Pro2, when one of the transmitters in my set-up began to show some faulty behaviour.

I have a moderately complex set-up; an ISS labelled Transmitter 1 which provides temperature and humidity data, a solar transmitter (Transmitter 2) which provides wind and concrete temperature data, and a third transmitter (non-solar) which provides rainfall and grass temperature data (Transmitter 3).

Recently my solar transmitter (T2) has become a little bit intermittent, with wind and concrete temperature dropping out. This was confirmed by wind data also not being received by my Davis touchscreen console, which showed the transmitter also as offline. So far, frustrating but not uncommon.

However, at the same time as the wind data dropping out, temperature and humidity data from Transmitter 1 became very erratic. This wasn't a problem with the transmitter itself, and the Davis console shows that correct values were being picked up. However, in Meteobridge, dewpoints of <-40C were being recorded, and air temperatures above 30C. The same problem was not observed on Transmitter 3, the grass temperature probe functioned normally, and I have received rain data which looks fine. The instant the solar transmitter re-connected, the temperature data from the ISS settled back to showing correct values.

Any ideas? Happy to send screenshots or further information if this is a previously unknown issue.

Looks like the transmitter sends some strange data because of the issue. May be the console can filter this out, but Meteobridge does not. Can I get remote access to have a look at incoming raw data?
