So far it's been working if I just use WU and Dash_app. No camera. I have given up. I no longer have time to keep chasing this. I have well over 500 dollars into something that doesn't work. I am selling this to whoever wants to give me 400 bucks. I hope I get it. I thought this would be a fun build and help me learn 3D printing. I know it's a "maker" project and uses the Pi in order to allow modifications, but the software hasn't worked correctly ever.
Again, I have several other Pi based projects that work as advertised as released with the opportunity to tweak them as I want if I want. But the original software works. Yours does not. It's extremely disappointing.
Thank you for trying to help me through this, but even Dow stated in his response that his crashes when using WeatherSTEM with the camera. That's unacceptable as this was the whole reason I bought this.

Dow, message me your address and I'll send the SD card back.

Pagerman,
Sorry you have had this problem. I wish we could have replicated it. Tough to fix it if we can't duplicate the problem. Did we swap out the camera?

And all of our units, and the vast majority of units out there work fine. I really wonder what this problem is. Still sounds like the network to me, but we worked very hard to figure that out and we didn't get anywhere with your unit. So, I don't know what else to try.

BP It's been running nonstop since July 18. The only thing it's doing is uploading to Weather Underground. When I have it only doing that it seems to run just fine. So it's NOT my network. Also, Dow has stated many times in this thread that his crashes as well when using the camera, so it's not just me. Unfortunately, the reason I wanted to back your project was for the camera functionality. Which has never run more than a day. I hear there's an add on camera coming. Will it upload using different programming? I have over 400 dollars into this to you, maybe I could test an add on camera for you since I have a system that seems to not like the on board camera. I would supply you with whatever logs/feedback you need. Let me know.

We just released the add-on camera (Solar SkyCam) today on Kickstarter.
Uses an ESP32, WiFi and MQTT to send the pictures to the Raspberry Pi. Totally different mechanism.

PM me your shipping address. I'll ask if we can send you one of the beta units that we won't be selling.

Pagerman,
I have a Raspberry Pi running the V027D version of SkyWeather2 using the on board camera that bombed last night! Now that is interesting!
All our other units are running fine, but maybe this is the same problem.

That's interesting. You are running the SkyWeather Dash App or the WeatherSense Dash App? BP i fellowed the steps in the menual from april 2021. And this mean it is the Skyweather Dash App So i changed the upload intervall to Weatherstem from 60 to 300 sec. Since that it works and never crashed. Think its a problem on the Weatherstem-site. Maybe thatswhy they also disabled timelapse videos.
