1-wire reader & laser sensor

I unzipped the 2 filles into my WD folder but still not loading LRTimelog. What should be set in control panel, comm port settings?

I tried to update my weather computer with the new weatherdisplay.exe, LRTimelog.exe, cronlazersnow.exe, AtUsbHid.dll and cronlazersnow will not see the lazer. Then I copied the entire subdirectory from the test computer I was using the past few day to the weather computer to a subdirectory totally independent of my original WD subdirectory and it works perfectly. It appears that there is a file missing somewhere and I can’t figure out where. I’ll go back over all the files you sent during the last week and see if I can find the missing link.

maybe it is
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/usb.dll
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/hid.dll

?

I just downloaded and installed those 2 files but “cronlazersnow.exe” still does not connect to the laser sensor.

did you restart it?

Yes, shutdown WD and cronlazersnow and restarted. Also, not that it may not be relative, but when my page is refreshed the snow information is correct but after the 3 second ajax update the snow data is not correct. See here http://indiantrailweather.com/index.php . Snow today should be “0” and snow depth should be “.2”

not sure about your web page, expect that it sounds like it goes wrong when it gets the data update from your clientraw.txt file?
I did make any changes to the format in the clientraw.txt file
question
using windows device manager, what is the VID and PID of your lazer sensor?
does the LRtimelog.exe program find it?

I’m not sure how to find the VID and PID of the lazer sensor using Device Manager. The original (Porcupine) LRtimelog.exe and LRDemo program do find and connect to the lazer sensor

I'm not sure how to find the VID and PID of the lazer sensor using Device Manager.
its easy just run windows device manager then under ports, you should be able to find ports, then there should be a list of USB/HID devices and then find the lazer one, and see what info in regards to PID and VID show under properties

I think it’s Port #0004 and Hub# 0004

I need to know the VID and PID
not port and hub numbers

It’s USB\VID_0417&PID_DD03&REV_1000
USB\VID_0417&PID_DD03

make sure that the dallas1wirereader is not running
nor the LRtimelog.exe
and then try this version
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/cronlazersnow.zip

which shows what devices it does find

The cronlazersnow screen page is still empty. No change

it has been working for 3 others,connecting
so that is strange
what I could do is get you to try a test program

OK, what do I have to do to run the test program?

http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/BasicDemo.zip

I unzipped it to the WD folder and ran it. It comes up blank.


running that here shows my mouse in the list
if you have a usb.dll file or a hid.dll file
where WD is installed, then try deleting those
(also try running that test program from another folder location)

Here it is.
