Rocky Linux 9.5 - USB problem with WH1080

[Ole Andreas Gløersen]

I have installed it several times.

It seems to be some USB driver problems.

Any help please.

Somthing strange...

Left the system with the error last evening:

april 05 23:28:43 RockyLinux1 weewxd[25755]: ERROR weewx.drivers.fousb: unrecognised magic number 2521

This morning the system was working.

I had to setup a new system disk in my server because the boot record/partition was failing and no way I was able to restore the boot record/partition. I had Rocky Linux to setup RAID 1 for the  system disk but no help so I bought a new disk and had to setup the hole server configuration againg. I was able to mount one of the system disks (get the RAID run with one disk) to another server and download several configurations. Also for WEEWX.

Part of the config:

##############################################################################

[FineOffsetUSB]
    # This section is for the Fine Offset series of weather stations.
   
    # The station model, e.g., WH1080, WS1090, WS2080, WH3081
    model = WS2080
   
    # How often to poll the station for data, in seconds
    polling_interval = 10
   
    # The driver to use:
    driver = weewx.drivers.fousb

##############################################################################

Well, system is working now.

good to know your station is working. here are my notes from the fousb.py driver about the magic numbers in fine offset consoles.

# USB Lockups
#
# the ws2080 will frequently lock up and require a power cycle to regain
# communications. my sample size is small (3 ws2080 consoles running
# for 1.5 years), but fairly repeatable. one of the consoles has never
# locked up. the other two lock up after a month or so. the monitoring
# software will detect bad magic numbers, then the only way to clear the
# bad magic is to power cycle the console. this was with wview and pywws.
# i am collecting a table of bad magic numbers to see if there is a pattern.
# hopefully the device is simply trying to tell us something. on the other
# hand it could just be bad firmware. it seems to happen when the data
# logging buffer on the console is full, but not always when the buffer
# is full.
# --mwall 30dec2012
#
# the magic numbers do not seem to be correlated with lockups. in some cases,
# a lockup happens immediately following an unknown magic number. in other
# cases, data collection continues with no problem. for example, a brand new
# WS2080A console reports 44 bf as its magic number, but performs just fine.
# --mwall 02oct2013
