Strange activity on Davis2 after changing batteries

[Joe]

The only thing I've done lately is change out old batteries that showed low on the console.  I plugged it in and changed it so the console never shut off.

Since then I've been getting some errors trying to communicate with the Davis2 console.  Odd never had any problems and now getting communication errors. I only notice because WUNDERGROUND emails me because it stops sending them data. So several times since yesterday I've had to restart the program and now its not doing anything.

Last night, it ran a report, then tried to request loop packets and failure...........

I'm not really sure what to do as I've restarted/start/stopped/start and did a reboot of the computer.  Suggestions from anyone would be great.

It's still sitting at the VANTAGE DRIVER VERSION 3.1.1 too....................

[Thomas Keffer]

It looks like you have two instances of weewx running at the same time. Make sure you stop all instances, then try again.

My USB connection was not working for some reason.  I looked at the SYSLOG and it said there was a USB connection error so I unplugged/plugged in the USB cord to the console and it started back up.

This error was preventing weewx from loading properly.  I had no idea, so I know what to look for later if the USB cord is not cutting it.

Thanks for the replies.
