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?)
That would be appreciated. I am taking receipt of the WMR-89 today and the data logger was one of the main reasons for my purchase. My station is located remotely, which I access through TeamViewer, and regularly looses data on OS updates etc. Thanks Brian.
