Weewx no longer posting data from Vantage Pro2

[emur...@gmail.com]

Weewx is no longer posting data to my computer. I am running Linux Mint on a desktop machine. Weewx has been working for months with no issues, then suddenly on April 14, I was getting no data to Index HTML or my NOAA files.

I tested the Vantage using my Windows computer running the WeatherLink software, and initially I got a station not found error. I checked connections and then ran TEST, upon which the station was found. After that, I was able to download data using Weatherlink.

But when I went back to weewx in Mint, still no go. Running weewxd in terminal gives  output from the station showing various data, but that is the extent of it. I am a newbie, so my level of expertise is low. Thank you for any help.

Here is the log info:

Could you please set debug=1, then restart, then post the log. It may give some clues why the driver is unable to reach the logger.

See this link on how to get a good log: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Help!-Posting-to-weewx-user#the-system-log

Some other information would also be helpful: What kind of logger? Serial, or USB? If the latter, are you using a serial-to-usb converter?

It looks like you are now communicating with the logger successfully, but have a corrupted memory problem. This is a very common issue with the Vantage series.

For how to fix, see the wiki section WeeWX generates HTML pages, but it does not update them

Unplugging and then powering up the station worked. Weewx is now sending data to my computer. The only issue is that I have no data from the time the problem began until the fix. Thanks much for helping me. All the best!
