Hi all,

Ik hope someone can help me to automate errorhandling……….

The Rpi with SDR (weewx 4.2 / Mysql / apache) runs well, at inexplicable moments the loop is interrupted, see parts op the logfile.

the weewx.service remains active only sub-processes have been stopped. a /etc/init.d./weewx restart reactivate the loop until the next error.

Question: my idea is a workaround, does anyone know how I can read out the last 6 minutes of / var / log / syslog using a cron job (or script) and if a text CRITICAL __main occurs that /etc/init.d./weewx restart will be executed.

or is there an easier way for a workaround.

or will it cause other problems in the long term?

Thnx a lot, in the meantime I'm going to consider a reinstall on another Rpi ....

These are both simple errors in the driver rtldavis. Ask the driver's author to fix the problem.

Thanks for your quick response Tom, I posted it on lheist's Git. I hope he can fix it?

The crazy thing is the spontaneous occurrence, every 5 minutes the loop runs, some days without error and then suddenly this happend ....

As a workaround for the time to fix .....
- appear there other errors if i restart the weewx.server each hour preventive? technicly possible with Cron.
- do you have an idea to automate when this occours (if message is CRITICAL than ......) at script / tool? (read last 6 min. from syslog for CRITICAL sign)

thanks! And keep up the good work! compliments for your work!

The errors are fixed in version 0.20

these are the changes:

line 935

if total_max_count > 0 and self.stats['pct_good_all'] is not None:

line 941

if self.stats['curr_cnt'][i] > 0 and self.stats['count'][i] > 0:

if self.stats['curr_cnt'][i] > 0 and self.stats['count'][i] > 0 and self.stats['pct_good'] is not None:

Hi Co,

The error on line 938 occurs when no single message is received from the Davis station during an archive interval (typical 5 minutes).

The error on line 1200 occurs when data is reveived from an analog temperature sensor. The 12-bit raw data is converted to 10 bits causing the integer type to be changed to a float.
(This type of sensor is seldom used with Davis stations.)

Hi Luc,

Thanks a lot for your quick action, great! I found v0.20, brand new :)

I will update the driver with the following commands on the Rpi

sudo wget -O weewx-rtldavis-master.zip https://github.com/lheijst/weewx-rtldavis/archive/master.zip
sudo ./bin/wee_extension --install weewx-rtldavis-master.zip
sudo ./bin/wee_config --reconfigure --driver=user.rtldavis --no-prompt
reboot

is this the procedure or do I miss something?

For this update I need to go to the lake (Setup with 4g mobile connection) no remote management.

i will report the results.

Compliments for your work to make 868Mhz SDR communication possible and thanks again!

/Co
