Hi everybody, I have a laptop at home which is an old dell latitude xpi p133 st. I use it as a small server, running OpenBSD 3.7. I would like to have my weather station connected to the laptop, serving the weather via http.
The weather station is a WS3600, racorded to the server via a serial cable. The program I use to retrieve the info from the station is open3600 (http://open3600.fast-mail.nl). To make it work under openbsd, I edited /etc/ttys and changed the line : tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off to : tty00 none network on local As open3600 is not available in binary form for OpenBSD, I compiled it. I then configured it to retrieve the info from /dev/tty00. Now when I launch the retrieval of the information, the command takes 30 seconds before outputing the result. Each time I execute the command, it takes about 30 seconds, and sometimes the output is right, sometimes it is totally wrong, indicating 0 values. I would say I have 50% chance to get the good parameters. The problem is not hardware, because I tried the command under Debian on the same machine, and it retrieves the information with no problem, in less than 2 seconds. I think the problem is the configuration of the serial port under OpenBSD, but my knowledge in serial devices is rather limited. I ran 'stty -af /dev/tty00' under OpenBSD and 'stty -aF /dev/ttyS0' under Debian and see the modes are a bit differents, but I did not manage to change modes under OpenBSD. 'stty -af /dev/tty00' under OpenBSD: speed 9600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns; lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho -pendin -nokerninfo -extproc -xcase iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr -iuclc ixon -ixoff ixany imaxbel -ignbrk brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk oflags: opost onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -olcuc oxtabs -onoeot cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl clocal -cstopb -crtscts -mdmbuf cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = <undef>; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W; 'stty -aF /dev/ttyS0' under Debian: speed 9600 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0; -parenb -parodd cs8 hupcl -cstopb cread clocal -crtscts -ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon -ixoff -iuclc -ixany -imaxbel opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0 isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt echoctl echoke I don't even know if the problem comes from here.
