Cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong - I'm surely missing something very obvious! I haven't messed around with the weather station since last year and got a new wifi network so needed to update those credentials, and also upload the latest firmware.

Apologies for the very basic question and thanks in advance for any help,

4PRO Dual Band RX  v3.2 RevA
 
Note I received the receiver above prior to Xmas but had issues initially with too many copies of files eg Wifi.h. etc.  and it was not compiling without many errors (on MacOS High Sierra it would not compile at all)
 
My PC was used. I was able to upload the program into the ESP32 but it would not start up without pushing the reset button many times and even when it did start it crashed into a blank white screen that was unresponsive. I thought it was most likely to be programming issues in the PC since many copies of WiFi.h etc were on this .
 
I have had more time to try again late January into now .
I used a freshly loaded macOS Catalina  on  the MacBook Pro  and the MacOS system seemed to work Ok.
Since it looked to me from my research and previous experience that the Weatherduino program needed Python3 I loaded this into the operating system.
Using the Terminal program  I erased the ESP32 completely,  just to start fresh..
I noted in config_options.h that the fonts… needed to be loaded into the SPIFF  via the tools menu :
“ ESP32 Sketch data upload”    menu option.  This worked after a bit of fiddling. Note even this upload only occurred if the reset button was pushed momentarily when the program indicated it was ready to upload to the ESP32.
 
I then put in all the data for location,  wifi details,  Receiver type :  both LoRa and 433Mhz into the files.  Note I had to fit a spare 433 Mhz receiver on the board .   I do not have a LoRa transmitter board to use the LoRa receiver.
 
After all this the program verified and compiled OK and was uploaded (again pressing the reset switch )
 
The log was like this :
 
 
Sketch uses 1062641 bytes (81%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes.
Global variables use 57612 bytes (17%) of dynamic memory, leaving 270068 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.

The weatherduino RX would start but needed the reset switch pushed usually multiple times to work.  It went through the windows  , linked to the Wifi and then recognized the Tx data with W T R  and then displayed the temperatures , the wind, rain and UV and solar data. It would go into the submenu windows too.  Wifi worked Ok.  The Air quality module was recognised too.
 
However it crashed often after just a few minutes at the most into a blank screen (not able to be woken) or crashed  in the normal screen but no updating happened. Note all the fonts seemed Ok.  Sometimes before crashing the time shows the same time in the seconds and then jumps eg from 15:30 15 seconds to 15:03 21 seconds after a few seconds. This is often just before it crashes,
 
I tried simplifying the config too (a new file):  just choosing the Rx modes :  both 433Mhx and LoRa (I don’t have a transmitter for the LoRa though) so the transmitter could be detected.
 
Nil Wifi chosen ,  nil settings for solar, UV ..or  WU.  Nil AQM picked either.
? This seemed to be better but it still crashed and repeatedly still.
 
I checked the voltage :  and put a 5V nonUSB input via the connector :  voltage 5V was OK drawing about 250mA (this did vary) when working.
The RTC is working and the temp /baro onboard the RX is working too.
My old transmitter has been working well for ?5years and nil issues til my old receiver failed.
 
So in summary I have sorted out any compiling and upload programming issues onto the board ,  and even tried a basic config options.h file minimising choices in the program:  The receiver initially works but varies a bit in how long it takes to crash :  anything from seconds to <5minutes usually, up to a few hours at the most (rarely).  Sometimes it restarts with a single reset but it can also refuse to start until switched off for a long period (even hours)
 
I am at a bit of a loss as to what else I can try :  suggestions would be welcomed.
 
The latest RX software  in the WeatherDuino_4PRO_DB_v6.3_b004_20240826  folder is being used.  Arduino 1.8.19 and ESP32 2.0.14 are being used as well as all the program files included in the download.   The Arduino system is loaded onto a freshly created MacOS 10.15 Catalina disc. I did this to minimise any extra file copies.    The Catalina MacOS seems to be the oldest MacOS that can be used for the weatherduino programs from what I have read on programming forums mainly due to the need for  Python 3,  which has to be loaded also in this MacOS.   The PC I used too has too many copies of Wifi.h etc to be trustworthy so is not being used.  I will probably be able to use the latest MacOS soon too in a couple of weeks.

Any ideas, could it be a bad rtc module?]]> <![CDATA[4Pro DB V6.3 b001]]> https://www.meteocercal.info/forum/thread-2229.html Tue, 02 May 2023 16:08:47 +0000 laulau]]> https://www.meteocercal.info/forum/thread-2229.html I have upgraded my 4ProDB but it didn't compiled with libraries from package. (error on line 401 struct tm timeinfo; )
After updating time and DS3232 libraries it compiled well.
I don't know which one caused the problem.

I have a question about json:
i would like to have all extra sensors.
If I add ad-hoc lines of code at the end of send_JSON routine , do I have to extend the buffer as well?
Code:
void send_JSON()
  {  
    DynamicJsonDocument WeatherData(528);              
    char t_buffer[420];

I presume the RX unit is deaf! I have a spare but not sure how easy it is to replace.
Unfortunately the unit won't receive data at all now.
Cheers
Philip.

Another update:-
I think the RX unit is ok. I temporary connected a spare rx board and still no good. I checked the 'Data' connection and there is data there, so not sure whats happening.
I am using Arduino version 1.8.19, and ESP32 v 1.0.6, with the supplied library. (nothing else is in the Library)

I am using latest Firmware RX_v6.2_b005 with settings  Arduino IDE  1.8.19 - ESP32 v2.0.2, but it wont compile like that but it will with ESP32 v1.0.6.

==================
I am just setting up the new Pro4 RX unit using the OOK 433Mhz TX board.
the Pro2 RX board works fine with RF Efficiency of 99.90%.
When the Pro4 RX starts it goes to the page to wait for the T W R to receive data. Nothing happens and after a few minuted the page changes to a pink page which says
"Not Receiving Data"
Below are the Debug Messages. A couple of times I had the unit working  with RF Efficiency of about 2.00%.
Any ideas please.

A week ago i received my new 4Pro receiver with transmitter.

The transmitter is working almost complete just can't check the VEML6075 because of lack of sun. Wink

The receiver is another story i solved and struggling with some issues.

1) Compiling the software with my configuration/setting did not work.

    Start compiling gives:
    Arduino:1.8.16 (Windows 10), Board:"MH ET LIVE ESP32MiniKit, 80MHz, Default with spiffs, 921600, None"
     a long list started wich i have deleted, following with.
     C:\Users\tijha\Documenten\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoJson/src/ArduinoJson/Array/ArrayRef.hpp:7:48: fatal error: ArduinoJson/Array/ArrayFunctions.hpp: No such file  or directory
     compilation terminated. 
     a long list started wich i have deleted, following with.
     Bibliotheek DataFlash_AC in map: C:\Users\tijha\Documenten\Arduino\libraries\DataFlash_AC (legacy) wordt gebruikt
     Bibliotheek ArduinoJson in map: C:\Users\tijha\Documenten\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoJson (legacy) wordt gebruikt
     exit status 1
     Fault compiling for board MH ET LIVE ESP32MiniKit

      Solved the issue "ArrayFunctions.hpp" with latest ArduinoJson driver by Benoit Blanchon Version 6.18.5, compiling and uploading (for me) works now 100%.

2)   I tryed the Dutch and  English setup for menu settings, both same weird reactions.
      2a. for example going from menu to weather to tab w.gust or w.speed or w.dir etc. gives different actions sometimes going back to menu.
      2b. for example start in menu touch inside-temp (right-side display) or outside-temp (right-side display) gives different actions or back to menu.
      2c. sometimes (maybe touching to fast) gives no longer direct action from touch screen, software seems to hang for some time.

3)  Dutch translations in grafics "Binnen Temperatuur (inside-temp)" is wrong. (see pict. Inside Temp wrong)
     Gives horizontal time, vertical humidity !
     Think the name for grafics should be "Binnen Vocht" (inside humidity).
 
4)  How can i change System Temp -50 dgr ? (see pict. System Temp -50)
      Is this temp coming from inside 4Pro receiver?

5)  How can i change display W.dir it is always --- ? (see pict. W.Dir only ---)
     Going to the webpage 192.168.1.xxx/weather, the wind direction is correct. (see pict. webpage W.Dir correct)

Any technical help is welcome.

Kind regards,
Wim
