Hi again & thanks for advice.
On "Mr. My"'s (?) question - gee, it took me a while to find that link; it seems to result in a continuous scroll:
DavisGetLOOP - data no changed
DavisGetLPS2 - data no changed
DavisGetHiLows - data no changed
DavisGetLOOP - data changed
DavisGetLPS2 - data changed
DavisGetHiLows - data no changed
DavisGetLOOP ...
also, under 'wifi debug' I get:
Uptime: 112503
Total disconection counter: 2
Total DNS error count: 0
Total DNS error total count: 0
1693971252 reason: 8 WIFI_REASON_ASSOC_LEAVE = 8
1694012049 reason: 8 WIFI_REASON_ASSOC_LEAVE = 8
Which I don't think I understand - anybody know if it means anything?
On Mr. Bock's reply, I use 'i-phone' as generic 'smart' (sic; it seems to turn many people to idiots!) mobile phone, like 'xerox', 'jello', and similar terms!
But yes, I want to use something on my local komputer, w7 (for as long as I can resist) OS (as mentioned in earliest post). All I really want to do is be able to record data & get a general view of my wx conditions in my home orchard/garden, use it like a scientific instrument; nothing fancy (and my phone - I just want to make calls - I have enough internet & komputer time already to want to carry it around with me too!).
Not only that but I'm afraid I must be getting old -- 20 years ago I (a botanist/geographer not a programmer) could write decent html & compile/build programs (with instructions) & even do a little linux/unix, but now I can't seem to figure out quite how to install cumulus...
Partly because the documentation is several versions behind the program apparently & other oddities, partly because I haven't taken more than an hour or so trying to figure it out (many contradictions right away threw me off).
So when I can spend more time trying to decipher it, list the questions & stopping blocks, & figure out what I need to ask I'll do so but figured I'd better at least get a better handle & document the questions before wasting anyone's time.
I'd imagined it'd've been easier, but perhaps what I really imagined was that I was younger!
