Hi Olivier,
yes, it's somehow strange. It looks like there is a problem with the caching that does not work properly on some Arduinos. I've reworked it today.

The latest version is available from my fork of INDI 3rdparty: github.com/sterne-jaeger/indi-3rdparty/tree/weatherradio-v_1.5

For simplicity, I attach the latest version here.

Hope this is working now. Otherwise I have to wait for my Nano to arrive...

Cheers
Wolfgang

Hi Wofgang,

I uploaded the new firmware and it's Ok.
The first time I due to click two times to connect it but after connection I can to connect all sensors and read it.
in the Options I selected all sensors, after aplicated parameters in parameters tab, in the weather tab of EKOS I can see values and I can see if the weather is sage or not with the not safety parametrer, for ex 100% cloud!! It's a great job!! wouaoo!

So, I have to try to manager weather in simulation with a eqmod simulator, ccd simulator and roll off simulaor.
Can you explain me what are the park policies to applied to, first park mount then park dome, if the weather passed from safe to unsafe.

Thank you very much.

Olivier

Aaaah, good to hear that it is working fine.

Regarding parking: I'm not the expert, I have only a wooden pole and no dome.

I've written the Observatory tab of EKOS, therefore I know this part quite well. In the Observatory tab, you can configure how the observatory should react upon warnings and alerts including thresholds. If you for example check the "Alerts" checkbox, you can select whether the dome should park after x seconds when the weather status turns to "ALERT".

For parking the scope, you can configure the dome device that the scope should snoop (i.e. listen). There you need to type our rolloff roof device name and select, how the scope should react upon the dome parking/unparking.

But better try it out with the simulators.

And be careful, better try twice :-)

Cheers

Hi Wolfgang,

I'm update my config indi and the weather radio driver has updated from 1.3 to 1.4.
Before, I could connect my nano in click twice on the connect bouton but now when I clic on connect the driver enter in a loop and don't connect the arduino with the same error time but also it add this text:
[ERROR] Parsing error breaking bad at 0

How I do to retun on the 1.3 please?

thanks a lot

Olivier

PS: for information in my other pc with the driver 1.3 it's OK (with the 2 clic to connect)

Yes no problem. You cn find the log in attachment.
So, it's strange but:
in version 1.3, I had the same issue with time out but I can to ckicl quicky two times on the connect button.
In the version 1.4 it's a loop which try to connec 3 times and if not responding there is theerror.
I don't knowwhy the arduino don't want to connect instantaneous it's a mystery for me....

you are using v1.5 Firmware in combination with v1.4 INDI driver, right? I can check it tomorrow, currently I do not have access to my Arduinos.
