I’m trying to help a fella get his laser snow sensor up and running. The laser sensor is working correctly with all of the Porcupine Electronics software and the Dallas 1-wire reader is seeing the sensor, but is not taking any readings. In the 1-wire sensor there is this error “Default port does not have a driver”. I haven’t seen this problem before.
maybe needs the dallas 1 wire driver installed (and then once that is installed, select the default port for that in the driver setup)
or try selecting /setting up the port in the 1 wire setup in the dallas 1 wire driver section?
Hi.
I have been using the fluke 414 and wd dallas for 3 years in wintertime.
But since last year the dallas 1-wire has not been stabil over long time or windows 10 regonize the fluke as not fluke but a keyboard, plug usb in out somtimes fix this.
Also tryed fluke readings one time an houre, but same issue dallas stoped working for reason unknown.
So i stoped using this feature in wd.
But hopefully somone can sort things out.
See photo, you also need to have this ticked “on”.
I have attached two screenshots of my Dallas1wirereader.exe app. v 5.7
It is running under Windows 10
Not sure how to troubleshoot the Keyboard issue you identified and whether I even have that problem.
All snow parameters are checked in WD
I can receive a daily one-time snow measurement by manually either directly or by remoting-in to my HP Laptop and running a manual measurement using porcupinelabs LR4 apps. Automatic flow of data just is not occurring at all using Dallas1wireader.exe & WD.
Appreciate you trying to help.
I downloaded my 64-bit 1wirereader driver from here:
@schwab
try
find the installed 1 wire driver dll files
like
IB97E32.dll
and copy to where you have WD installed
but the issue might be that you have installed 64 bit 1 wire drivers when only 32 bit driver needed
see if you can install the 32 bit dallas 1 wire drivers instead
the problem is I lost the code for the WD 1 wire program in a hard drive crash
in your email it seems that the error you were getting about the port/driver in the WD 1 wire reader program is now gone, yes?
that is a step in the right direction
i think you now need to have set in WD, under control panel, com port setup, dallas 1 wire, set there. I want to use a 1 wire device.
in one of your screen shots of the WD 1 wire reader, it shows that WD is picking up the HID OK
