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.

Hello, everyone. Great job. I've read all this forum thread carefully. I have also read the page with detailed instructions on how to build the meteostation…
indilib.org/support/tutorials/177-howto-...showall=&limitstart=
but I haven't been able to find the page to download the file indiduinoMETEO.ino (and I'm sure it's posted several times). Anyway, if there were any charitable souls to tell me, I would be very grateful. I already have all the hardware, I only need software....
Thanks in advance

Hello to everybody,

the detector shows 0% of the cloud (which corresponds to reality) but still reports that it is overcast (****** CLOUDY ****) and the first LED indicator is lit.

So far, I do not have a roof-closing connection, but I'm planning it in the future. I assume correctly that this will be a problem.

Why? Do you have the same reporting?

No matter the value I put in #define CLOUD_TEMP_CLEAR it does not affect the cloud cover percentage.
At the moment, I have a 100% clear sky and it's showing 68% cover.

I do no get it.
