so I loaded that after editing the new config and credential files (instead of copying the old ones - probably my original issue..)
Usually for the same firmware version, I try to keep the config and credential files unchanged between different build version (ex: b009, b010 etc). When there is a change on version number (ex: 6.0 to 6.1), sometimes there are changes in the config or credential files (less often). The safe option is copy / past the personal settings from the older config and credential files to the newest, and check for any new setting (usually that info is provided on the firmware release announcement).

I'll put the WU link in my signature.
I'm seeing that there are a lot of weather stations nearby yours, Davis and other brands, that is very good.

While messing with some other issues I noticed that I have the LoRa radio set to 868 mhz, not the 915 used here in the US, so decided to update the software on the transmitter. I cannot get v7.3_b005 to compile in IDE 2.0.2 (Mac OS Catalina) with the 1.6.21 board manager for Arduino Nano (I even tried the most recent version), I get the following error:
Code:
fork/exec /Users/user/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avr-gcc/4.9.2-atmel3.5.4-arduino2/bin/avr-g++: bad CPU type in executable
Compilation error: fork/exec /Users/user/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avr-gcc/4.9.2-atmel3.5.4-arduino2/bin/avr-g++: bad CPU type in executable
Any suggestions? Feel like I've dealt with this before but cannot remember what I did to resolve it,
Many thanks!
Zac
Edit: I tried compiling on Arduino IDE 1.8.19 as well and no luck.
As the error suggest, maybe you are trying to compile for the wrong processor. Please try Arduino Nano, and then choose ATmega328P (normal or old bootloader depending on the Arduino Nano you have)
I did verify I was using the ATmega328P, also tried both bootloaders and even ATmega168 just to see, it's giving me the same error message, feel like I must be missing something obvious, would it make any difference whether the nano was plugged in or not? Something related to the port I've selected?
I can assure that the WeatherDuino 4Pro Universal Transmitter Software 7.3_b005 compiles fine with Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.21
Also with newer versions it will compile but will not work correctly.
Really strange, perhaps it has something to do with my operating system? I think the next attempt will be to reinstall IDE 1.8.19. The weather station is working overnight so far, I'm just going to leave it alone for a while and see if it behaves. One odd thing is I set the radio for the 915 mhz option on the transmitter but the receiver was still receiving data even though it was set for 868 mhz, I updated it regardless, I doubt this is related to my compiling issue.
Hi Werk, I've attached my config file, I'd love to see if you have any insight, I have yet to try installing a new IDE 1.8.19 but curious to see if that helps.
On another note I got a Young brand heated rain gauge from the surplus auction that appears to be in good shape, we do get a bit of snow here so it will be nice to be able to measure that. I'm going to place it in a different location as the unit I have currently is on the roof and substantially undercounts the precipitation, our last rain was .48" according to my manual gauge while the weather station showed .16"
Your new rain gauge seems very good. According to its resolution you may have to adjust the settings on the TX software and the multipliers on the Cumulus software.
I don't know why, but I can't open the PDF file you sent. Can you please put the Config_Options.h file inside a ZIP or RAR archive and post it again.
Thanks.
Thanks for the good news.
