The most frequently reported issue, especially by people that is trying to run the system for the first time, is: After a restart or after programming, the RX unit seems to don't pass from these messages shown on the LCD display.
- "Initializing. Auto-Reboot soon"
- "Wait! Don't start weather software yet"
There is only reason for this to happen. The RX unit is not receiving all the required data to initialize itself.
Upon a startup, the RX unit, needs to receive, at least, data from the outside Temperature / Humidity sensor, Wind sensors, and Rain gauge to perform some procedures to avoid that erroneous data are passed to your weather software.
Before you try to test your receiver (RX unit) make sure your TX unit is already working and sending data of the three sensors referred above.
With v2.0 software, along with the initial messages, a three digits code is now shown, to help you to understand what is happening.
At start all digits are zero, as soon as the receiver starts to receive data from the external sensors, those digits will change from 0 to 1. Only when all the three digits are equal to 1, the receiver leaves the "Wait" state. The leftmost digit corresponds to data from Temp / Hum sensor, the digit on the middle corresponds to data from Wind sensor, and the rightmost digit corresponds to data from the Rain gauge.
So, if when you restart your RX unit, you don't see those digits changing from 0 to 1 in a minute or two, now you know what is happening.
