The command will not write anything.

I've updated my database and locate works.
pi@raspberrypi:~/meteostationWEB $ locate meteostation_sk.xml

I did the compilation of
indilib
and
inddi-duino
on Raspberry Zero W and it works.

When using packages, it does not work. Why? I do not know.

Hi,

I have some connecting problems with the MeteoStation. I used the same parts and code as described in the tutorial (Trinket Pro 3V, DHT22, Melexis, etc). I am using a MPL3115A2 Barometric Sensor and the Adafruit_MPL3115A2.h library instead of the BMP085. I did not change the Analog Pin Mapping or any other digital or analog pin. I can connect to the MeteoStation but the sensors showing me some weird results. Sometimes the Metro-Tab is showing the correct numbers but some Sensors on the Raw-Tab are showing 0 or -273. Sometimes the Raw tab is showing the correct Numbers but the Meteo-Tab is showing 0. Sometimes the cloud Sensor shows 100 but the cloudy Flag is not highlighted. It seems to be completely random. Sometimes I have to connect and disconnect sereveral times to get all the sensors running. I changed the FTDI Cable and I tried it with a Arduino Nano. Same result.

I attached some Pictures of the Indi Log and Indi configuration.

Thank you for your help!

Florian

Hi Florian.

It seams to me that the firmware chrashes.

It might be that the code for reading the barometric sensor does not work with MPL3115A2, or possibly wiring / connection issues.

I would suggest using the meteoTEST firmware untill everything is up to code.
The test firmware will fail in a spesific point in the code, making it easyer to debug.

If you get the test firmware up and running without errors, then try to squeeze / pull on the soddered and other connection points, to se if you can make it crash from communication error.

Hi Magnus,

Thanks for your help!

The MPL3115A2 is the culprit. If I start the Meteostation without the MPL everyting works fine. If Istart it with the MPL I get weird sensor readings.
This is really strange because when I run MeteoTest I get correct values for the MPL.

Anyway, I ordered a BMP180.

best regards

Florian

Hello Magnus,

Not sure exactly what's going on there, the weatherstation has been working flawlessly until the 26th of April. I think the oDroid crashed and got rebooted.
Now, I can't get anything out of the meteobox. Would you have any idea from the below info?

Total mystery, I was able to get it all working again by doing nothing at all. I've restarted it today (startmeteo) and it worked !!! What the fudge?

Hello to everybody,

I would like to ask how you have set up AAG Cloudwatcher formula.
I have great differences between winter and summer.
In winter, the corrected sky temperature of the clear sky was -25 and now it is -13 in summer.
The URL link to the AAG Cloudwatcher formula is not working.
Formula Tcorrection = (K1 / 100) * (Thr - K2 / 10) + (K3 / 100) * pow((exp (K4 / 1000* Thr)) , (K5 / 100))

Do you know the meaning of the K1-K5 constant?
#define  K1 33.
  #define  K2 0.
  #define  K3 4.
  #define  K4 100.
  #define  K5 100.
 
  //Clear sky corrected temperature (temp below means 0% clouds)
  #define CLOUD_TEMP_CLEAR  -13
  //Totally cover sky corrected temperature (temp above means 100% clouds)
  #define CLOUD_TEMP_OVERCAST  0
  //Activation treshold for cloudFlag (%)
  #define CLOUD_FLAG_PERCENT  30
#endif //USE_IR_SENSOR

Thanks.
