Hello all.

I am finishing the construction of the station but I have one (last?) problem with time and date.
It is displayed in the format eg 222-13-2018 or Friday-222-Sunday-2018.
I have already replaced the DS3231 chip and tried different position settings eg:
LATITUDE 52.475 or LATITUDE 525,

on and off NPT server but the problem did not go away.

Can anyone help me?

Sorry for my terrible English.

Hi jarekh3,

In first place, try to enable the NTP debug options by uncommented the line as show below:

Code:
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//   Debug helper 

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//#define PRINT_DEBUG_WIFI

#define PRINT_DEBUG_NTP_UPDATE      // Prints to serial monitor messages related to sync time with NTP server

What you get on the serial monitor?
You can also enable the PRINT_DEBUG_WIFI options to check if you are getting WiFi connection, otherwise the NTP will not work.

Next check your auto summer time settings, here:

Code:
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//   Define rules for Auto Summer Time Display, and clock adjustment

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Example for Australia Eastern Time Zone (Sydney, Melbourne) 

// TimeChangeRule aEDT = {"AEDT", First, Sun, Oct, 2, 660};    //UTC + 11 hours 

// TimeChangeRule aEST = {"AEST", First, Sun, Apr, 3, 600};    //UTC + 10 hours 

// Timezone myTZ(aEDT, aEST); 

TimeChangeRule PST = {"PST", Last, Sun, Mar, 1, 60};   //Portuguese Summer Time -  "UTC + 1" or GMT + 1

TimeChangeRule GMT = {"GMT", Last, Sun, Oct, 2, 0};    //Portuguese Winter Time -  "UTC + 0" or GMT 

Timezone myTZ(PST, GMT);

There is also another way you could try to force the clock to sync:
On the examples folder of the RTClib library, there is a sketch called ds3231.ino, compile it and upload to your Meduino. Your clock should be working correctly now.

Set with sketch from library:

21:50:01.782 ->  since midnight 1/1/1970 = 1536439800s = 17782d

21:50:01.836 ->  now + 7d + 30s: 2018/9/16 9:20:6

Results:
Without NPT date : 06-13-2018
With NPT date: 109-03-2018
Time is ok.
I did all these steps yesterday ..... Huh

Hi,
It seems that the ds3231.ino sketch was set the date and time correctly.

Please check if you are using the Time library supplied with the software package and not any other (newer or older).

Yes, this library from software package. I remove all old libraries before install.

Today is date: Sunday 1 April 2018 Sleepy

Time is wrong, set UTC+120 min but display UTC+60min

Code:
38:50.415 -> Set tcp server timout 30 seconds

Aaaa... Arduino 1.8.6

Unfortunately I can't understand why the date isn't set properly.
Everything in your TimeChangeRule seems correct, so the time should also be set correctly.

Lets try another approach: Put the Program/Run switch in Run position, connect the USB cable to PC and start Cumulus (configure it first, at least the com port and station type). When Cumulus starts is should also sync the station clock with the PC clock.

Cumulus ver. 1.9.4
port 15
Vantage Pro Vue
switch VP1 -
close

" Error -32701 while trying to initialise the station...."

Perhaps Serial Monitor is open, it should be closed before starting Cumulus.

No, Arduino is closed.

moment....

i set COM 7 and connected!

.....
....

And now 2 April 2018 Big Grin

Cumulus receives data but second dot on display RX is red (green-red-green)

I really don't know what is happening...

Take a look at in the Cumulus diags folder, open the file cumulus.xxx with a text editor.
around line 80 you should see something like this:

Code:
01-09-2018 06:04:27.414 : VP2: Setting station clock

01-09-2018 06:04:27.415 : y=2018 m=9 d=1 h=6 m=4

01-09-2018 06:04:28.581 : VP2: SetStationTime_V res = 0

01-09-2018 06:04:28.581 : VP2: Getting station clock

01-09-2018 06:04:29.153 : VP2: GetStationTime_V res = 0

01-09-2018 06:04:29.153 : y=2018 m=9 d=1 h=6 m=4

Cumulus tries to set the clock too.

Quote:Cumulus receives data but second dot on display RX is red (green-red-green)

Don't worry with this for now, its related to WU upload, which should be disabled until you have everything working properly. Anyway it will fail, as the data and time is on the past.
