looks you have selected a wmr300 instead of a wmr100
select the wmr100 in WD
then restart WD (the running wmr300 program should close when close WD and then the correct wmr100 program should start up)
I have tried to set it to WMR100 many times now. I always hit the close/save button. I try exit and start as admin, or start as normal. I have tried restarting.
When the app starts, it fires up WMR100.exe in the background. This then periodically fires up the wmr300histolder.exe, but never for long.
It seems stuck. Maybe I should un-install and reinstall???
Scratch that. I un-installed. Deleted the registry keys and OS folders, restarted and re-installed.
It not appears to have the correct data gatherer in the system tray but as you see from this screenshot, it’s not updating the main display. The number in the data gatherer just keeps cycling.
It does show up and the very basic software that it comes with talks nicely to it. I always close and kill that executable just in case there is a conflict.
I downloaded Cumulus and tried that. It offers a WMR88/WMR100 setting also and that won’t display anything. My preference is Weather Display.
Hi - I have exactly the same problem , I have chosen just WMR100 and have checked that WMR100 is also running in the system tray. I have checked I have got the correct port selected (COM4) in WD But no data is being received by WD?
I also have the OS software working (as mentioned by the OP) …is there a fix for this or something I am missing?
I gave up on this and grabbed their LW301 product. It meant I could use the existing sensors from the WMR-89 which was cool and I just wrote my own software to read and store the data, which is what most of us want at the end of the day.
I have total control over the data and can post off to webservers like Weather Underground who provide a pretty good free service.
There are a lot of posts on the internet concerning this station’s interface, some of them from very experienced users/programmers but none of them claiming success. Like some other OS station(s) it appears to use the serial connection in a non-standard way, most likely by using the control lines for data so a regular USB or Serial port monitoring software will not yield any usable information I have seen information that it uses the silabs USB-Serial chip so I guess it’s also possible the interface may be similar to the Davis USBxpress one :dontknow:
OS has never released the data protocol (which is very non standard by the looks, very low level communication type…why manufactures do this…come up with a proprietry communication system is strange…why not go with modern, proven, standards?)
