1-wire reader & laser sensor

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.


HID List without lazer sensor. Confirms 0417 DD03


and if you run cronlazersnow from that same location?

It connected. Ran it from my C:\TEMP folder


that means there is some dll file in your wdisplay folder that is interfereing
(e.g like a usb.dll or similar)

you can, for now, run it there (as long as you also have the LRtimelog.exe and its associated .dll AtUsbHid.dll there too)
(if they were not there, then copy those 2 files there and then restart cronlazersnow so that it can start up the LRtimelog.exe in that location)

What usb.dll file should I look for to delete in the WD folder?

I found “USB.dll” in the WD folder. Should I delete it or run it from the TEMP folder?

I have it running from the TEMP folder reading every 60 seconds. Will send a screen shot in 5 minutes.

OK here it is success !!! Now what? Do I have to manually load it from my TEMP folder each time I want to run it?

Great job getting it to run.


Snow is expected tonight. I’ll set it up to run the real white stuff and see what happens.

Thank you very much!

I removed the “USB.dll” file from the WD folder and WD would not load so I replaced it.

What version of WD?
Did you try the Usb.dll from the WD download folder?
What windows version?

WD 10.37S-b61, Windows 7-64bit. I can’t find a Usb.dll in the WD download folder.

As a point of information Mike just advised me that he got his weather computer running with the “cronlazersnow” scripts by deleting the file"HID.dll". Tomorrow I will delete that file from my WD folder and see if I can load both “cronlazersnow” and “LRTimelog” when WD restarts. It started snowing here about 45 minutes ago and I got my first reading at 10:55 pm. I’m very pleased to advise that everything appears to be working as you designed. Once I got the laser sensor back online the problem with the ajax updates on my web page ceased.

I’m staying up for another 45 minutes to see the 11:55 pm update and off to bed. We’re supposed to get around 4" (10.16 cm.) during the night and tomorrow morning. This will be a good test for the new system.

Once again thank you very much for sticking with this project and all of the time that you put into it. Much appreciated! =D>

UPDATE: 12/12/17, 9:00 am (EST)

SUCCESS! The laser snow sensor worked flawlessly throughout the night recording correctly “new snow” and “snow depth”. The program which Brian has developed is accurate and a pleasure to operate. The program “cronlazersnow.exe” version 2.6 facilitates the setup/change process.

As reported last night I had to load “cronlazersnow” from my TEMP folder where I had copied the following three (3) files from the WD folder: cronlazersnow.exe, LRTimelog.exe and AtUsbHid.dll. It would not load when WD was activated. Brian noted that there was/were some file(s) that was/were interfering with the process. Mike suggested that it could be the “HID.dll” file located in the WD folder. This morning I deleted the HID.dll from the WD folder and now “cronlazersnow” and LRTimelog" start when WD is loaded. Perfect …

Brian, I would like to know what the function of the “HID.dll” file is and will it be included with future updates? This file messes with the proper startup of “cronlasersnow” and “LRTimelog” for my system setup.

I’m curious to know if the 2 Windows 10 users, Tom and Rick are running this new laser snow program successfully …

I’m running Windows 7 -64bit and currently WD 10.37S-b61.

Thanks very much Brian! All good things take some time … :lol:

Brian thanks for your efforts last night with Breezy! Removing the HID.dll from the weather computer WD subdirectory solved the problem where it would work when run from one subdirectory ( the one that was copied over from the test computer) but not the WD version running on my weather computer WD subdirectory. Now it’s running perfectly from the corrrect subdirectory.

Again THANKS for all your time and effort that you put into this Great update.

=D> :D/ :salute:

:reindeer: :x-mas:

Cheers

the hid.dll file is not in the WD install files (it might have been a long time ago)

Because you asked for the VID and PID to the laser sensor are the scripts that you sent me specific for my use alone?

no, not all
I was just trying to find out why your sensor was not being found
but that turned out to be that hid.dll file
