WeatherDuino Pro2 Compact v4.2_b004 - Release date: 2021-01-27
Upgrade from v4.1 to to v4.2 is highly recommended to all users, specially those who are using the Pro2 Compact as a receiver for the Auriol weather stations.
WeatherDuino Pro2 Compact - RX v4.2_b004
- Several parts of the code have been improved for better performance.
- Receiver now checks real WiFi connection by ping the router every minute.
- When one or more Wireless Display units are defined to be used as additional extra Temp / Hum sensors, now, before trying to fecth data from them, the receiver checks if they are reachable on the network. This check avoids waiting until the connection timeout, case one or more units are offline or powered off, saving valuable seconds.
- Routines to decode data sent from Auriol weather stations have been almost totally rewritten.
Now, receiver only accept Temperature / Humidity data which was sent from the same origin than Wind data (which means the main Auriol station), this should effectively prevent interference from other secondary Auriol Temp / Hum sensors. As a consequence, initialization time, after a power up or reset the receiver, can take up to five minutes.
- Some libraries have been updated. As usual, all the libraries required to compile the code, are included on the software package.
Updated libraries:
Note: As happens with the large majority of Pro2 Compact software upgrades, there is no need to manually perform a "Factory Reset". Indeed, it shouldn't be done, except in rare cases of abnormal high rain readings at startup. This upgrade includes checks to auto perform a "Factory Reset" for the large majority of conditions which may require it.
