Hi BP , If it is ok with you I will send the board out on the 26th as we will be away until then. I plan to take the unit to Maryland as my son has a good internet connection there. I did some test today and attached some files. The unit registers -37 db within a few feet the router and about 20 ft it is down to -50 db. (I reset the unit to 192.168.4.1 and connected it to my cell phone) I believe that the board is ok and I have a WiFi problem. Where I am I cannot fix the speed issue or latency issues. Indoors the unit works ok it fails when I move it outside. It has reported data for hours and then appears to loose connection to the server. The date goes to 1969-12-31 and the unit stops reporting data even though it still appears in the router table. If this is the case then I will have to update software locally through Github and may post for help on the forum if I can't find the info. The software up-data in the switchdoc.com/OurWeatherAdmin.html takes several seconds to fail so it seems like a latency issue. If all else fails I will send you the board but do not want to waste your time. Thanks, Pete Attachments:

That works fine for us. I can get right on it when I get the board.
this is an original WeatherPlus board right?

Hi, Recently Purchased the complete weather kit. assembled it and boots nicely. I have two problems. 1) It will not update. It says that I have version V50 and V51 is available. I have rad threads that say "to far from router" so I moved it right next to the router. I still get a update failed message from OurWeatherAdmin. Can I down load the update and install it locally? 2) The system locks up when I move it out side. It is about the same distance from the router but there is a window and a wall. Do I need a Yagi Antenna? Should the antenna stub be mounted out side the enclosure:? Thanks, Pete

Pete,
Hmm. I'll test the update here to make sure. Back in a bit.
What do you mean the system locks up? The OLED stops cycling?
The nub should be outside, especially if there is any metal in the enclosure.

Hmm. Do you have Blynk setup?
I think that might be interfering. I'll prove this in a minute.

Found it and fixed it!
Turns out there is a problem in Version 50 that is looking for the wrong name of the update. I copied the update file to the name that V050 is looking for and all is good now.
Try it now.

Hi BP,
I am taking a different approach. I have switched to the SkyWeather Pi project. I am familiar with the Raspberry Pi from Ham Radio (N3WZO) and can read Python to some degree. I purchased the switchdoc labs header for the pi, the Pi Weather board and your pre-programed sd card. I have the weather rach sensors working. I have ordered the solar upgrade kit, Camera etc. VNC is setup. When I start the Sky weather python program I get: (pi@SwitchDocLabs:~/SDL_Pi_SkyWeather $ sudo python SkyWeather.py mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1:ENOMEM) mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1) ('after bme680', True) as3935 start I/O error(121): Remote I/O error I/O error(121): Remote I/O error as3935 Interrupt after SHT30 ^C SkyWeather Weather Station Version 055 - SwitchDoc Labs))
The program stops until I hit control-c the it runs ok and connect weather Underground. My questions are: why will the program not enter the run state and how can I fix it and why does it go into a sleep state? and is there a way to get a Weather Stem account as I have purchased boards piece meal (I should have purchased the kit )?
Thanks,
Pete

Have you enabled the camera? SkyWeather is not picking it up. Find another picamera program and try that out.

Hello, When I try to update my OurWeatherV2+Expansion (with 050 version) via webadminpage, after checking-update, Version 056 is available but "Update Failed" what ever I try. Also already check and change wire, but RGBW Pixel doesn't want to light-up.
Is there any option to update?
Thanks RD

You can download and compile the code. Usually we never see this problem above unless there is a really bad internet connection. I just tested the 056 update (from 055) and it worked. Here is the 057 code (which is just being released today): github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_ESP32_OurWeatherBP
