to weewx-user

I'm using the SDR driver for Ambient Weather WS-2902C "Fineoffset-WH65B" on ubuntu 20.04. I am collecting data, but it does not insert into the database and it does not generate html reports. I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Ed

Ed,

Your archive_interval (in StdArchive section) is set to 300 seconds (5 minutes) -- meaning that data will be inserted into the DB every 5 minutes.

The log file simply shows that your weather station is being polled for data regularly for data. You simply need to allow 5-10 minutes to pass after starting weeWX, then you can look at your DB to verify data is being written.

The archive_interval also determines how often reports (aka skins) are generated/published. By looking at your log files, you can determine how long it takes for reports to generate -- based on that information you can adjust your archive_interval to possibly write more often.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate the help. I changed the archive_interval to 100 and restarted. Unfortunately, I got the same results, even after waiting 30 minutes. From the log:

Ed,

Can you email me the full log file – looking at a snipet is helpful?

I’m looking to see if there is any attempt to connect and write to the DB – I struggled a bit in this area too and would like to share my learnings with you.

I assume you have debug enabled.

What is your platform/architecture? Are you running a tool like phpMyAdmin – it’s an easy way to manage the MySQL DB?

Regards,

Tim

Yes, debug is enabled.

As far as a tool goes, just using SQL queries against the tables. select count(*) from table_name returns 0 rows.

SELECT table_name, table_rows

Returns a list of tables -- all with zero rows.

Ed,

I’m a bit perplexed….

On line 3197 of the Log – the archive_interval is still showing that it is set to 300 (looks like you didn’t save the weewx.conf change)
On line 3226 of the Log – indicating an empty database (indicative that the hooks between Python and MySQL aren’t installed)
Consistently seeing - message repeated 3 times: [ DEBUG user.sdr: lines=[]] -- I’m uncertain what is pushing these messages
I’m not seeing where the Reports are being initiated – even with the SeasonsSkin being enabled, and the Services defined/enabled in the Engine look correct

So this lends me to ask what platform are you working with and which installation method did you follow?

What version of Python is installed – you should be using Python3?

Since you want to use MySQL, I’d suggest going down the route of installing using setup.py method (http://www.weewx.com/docs/setup.htm) . The pre-reqs should clear the path to getting everything installed to generate the reports and populate the DB.

Before I fired up MySQL, I allowed everything to run with SQLite (as packaged) – the sdb files are in /weewx/archive. Once I saw data being reported and verified data was being written to sdb, I then defined MySQL Databases and user access, and modified weewx.conf (always back this up before you make any changes, this way if you have a hiccup you can quickly revert).

Net-Net – my suggestion is to drop your current install and re-install (ideally following the setup.py method.

Feel free to ping me directly (off-thread) – if needed, we can have a tele-conference and I can walk you through what I’ve done.

I have a suspicion that no LOOP packets are getting generated by the driver.

Did you try stopping weewxd, then running it directly from the command line? If it is working correctly, it should show the contents of the LOOP packets on a regular basis. How often will depend on the sdr driver, but probably every 5-30 seconds.

If you don't see anything, then you have a driver configuration problem. I'm not an SDR expert, but I would guess there's a problem with the sensor map.

No, this is linux not windows. The issue is related to mapping of fields within the sdr driver. Archive interval or database has nothing to do with it, the driver is emitting no loop packets so WeeWX generates no archive records, so nothing is saved to databases and consequently no reports are run.

I suggest working through the sdr setup again as per the sdr driver readme; running sdr directly, determining the sensor map and working through the diagnosing of problems section of the readme. If you can't make sense of what you are seeing post the command(s) you enter and the exact response.

I didn’t even think about the SDR – mine worked out of the box, albeit with the IP-100 extension from John Kline.

It appears that there is an issue with SDR sensor map. I modified sdr.py for my packets, changing wind_avg_m_s/wind_speed_ms, wind_max_m_s/gust_speed_ms, and rain_mm/rainfall_mm.

I now get the following.

Any reason you are mapping fields with ‘Alt’ when sdr is emitting fields without the ‘Alt’? For example, temperature.97.FOWH65BPacket vs temperature.97.FOWH65BAltPacket.

That was a fine catch! I removed the 'Alt' from the sensors for SDR in weewx.conf, and immediately started getting data. Thanks!
