Update b266 to b281 errors: no control panel access / extreme rain

Hi all,

Yesterday I thought I would give my WD an update from b266 to b281, but that didn’t work out the way I wanted it to go. I notice a few issues (see below) resulting in downgrading WD back to b266 this morning (and so far working with out any problem). Things i noticed after updating to b281:

by the way: I used the install file and not the update file

Issues:

  1. [li]Rainfall multiplied by 20 times
    Yesterday we had some extreme weather in the Netherlands resulting in roughly 13mm of rain in a few hours. After the update to b281 the rainfall had multiplied with 20 to 285mm. I had to manually adjust the rainfall yesterday. See image below

    [li]Control Panel Icons do not respond
    This is already being discussed in this topic: http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/59922

    [/li]
    [li]No update of FTP files
    Weather-Display FTP and Weather-Display weather data were only updated for the first 2 times (every 5 mins) after that no update of these files anymore

    [li]Errors in programerrorlog.txt
    As of the installation of b281 the programerrorlog is being flooded with the following errors:

  • [li]WD freezes
    After upgrading WD seems to hang/freezes operation. Nothing can be accessed and it seems that WD has stopped working totally. Probably being discussed in this topic: http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/60295[/li]

re the rain problem, what weather station type?

that is strange about your rain problem
