VP2 getting disconnected when RMS-300 used as 2nd station

Post by wfpost »

since adding an RMS-300 to my current

VP2 + ebox4300 + meteohub v.4.1e configuration,

I´m getting this failure:
The VP2 disconnects from time to time, because the USB port is changing from
/dev/ttyUSB1 to /dev/ttyUSB0 and then back to /dev/ttyUSB1.

Any reason for this bug?

The USB port for the VP2 is also changed if I change a name of an RMS-300 sensor. Immediately the VP2 USB is switching to the other USB port.

Attaching the meteohub log, as it shows the error.

cheers,

I went now back to 4.1e, because 4.1f causing one or two 127.0 error with completely stopping data recordings.

Also I changed USB ports. VP2 is now connect at the left USB port front and RMS300 at the USB port at the back.
Since doing that only this type of errors are rported in meteohub.log
logger (12.03.2009 15:02:30): no signal from station 1 (RMS-300) for 150 seconds, station restarted.

logger (13.03.2009 01:11:31): data logger started.
but no longer data recordings is stopped.

Q.: Is there anything changed from 4.1g that the 127 bind failures are fixed?

Thanks,
Wolfgang

Meteohub unloads cp2101 usb-serial kernel module each time data logging with an USB Vantage is started. This is done to solve USB Vantage issues. That might be the source of the changing /dev/ttyUSB devices. I would be glad to have a look into that on your Meteohub.

I did several test and assume this is now solved with update 4.2rc2.
