Yeah…. so turns out that the Davis weather system cables should REALLY not be used with a USB->Serial bridge.

Really.

So after some heroics, I have moved the weather station collection routine to another machine, and dump the results into the DB from there. Seems to be working just peachy now. The real trick is to see if we can get data for 48 hours straight without any intervention. I would have had this wrapped up in a flash, but real work buts in.

Thank goodness for conference calls that run long, and I’m listening.
