[Yesterday: 11 mile run;\u00a0 Today: 40 minutes of rowing]<\/p>\n
I finally got up some gumption and started looking at my weather station.\u00a0 I took the little BeagleBone computer out of the enclosure and brought it into the house and connected it to my computer directly.<\/p>\n
I could see it was booting up OK.\u00a0 But the USB WiFi device was not being recognized.\u00a0 I couldn’t tell why.\u00a0 The internal USB hubs were showing up as working.\u00a0 I sprayed some contact de-ox-it on the connector of the WiFi device and things started working.\u00a0 By the end of the day I had it running fine from boot-up with the WiFi as normal.<\/p>\n
So this morning I put it back in the box on the pole in the yard.\u00a0 And later in the afternoon I put the cover on the box.<\/p>\n
I’ve been logged in remotely over the network and it seems to be working just fine.\u00a0 The weather readings are coming in and everything.<\/p>\n
I did add a static route to my house dual-internet device so that the FTP upload always goes one way.\u00a0 I’ve had problems with my internet account where it doesn’t like me connecting via one ISP and then trying to carry on the conversation over the other ISP.\u00a0 It doesn’t like the quick change-o.\u00a0 So I have pinned the FTP to the weather data site to use only one of my ISPs.<\/p>\n
I’m going to watch the system journal for awhile and see if it behaves.\u00a0 Before I worked on it, it would run for awhile and then disappear from the network.\u00a0 But maybe that was all the crusty USB connection killing the WiFi.\u00a0 Who knows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
