Lightning Counts

Hi anybody ,
My lightning recorder works it logs correctly ,

however it repeated the same data three times on the count graph ,

I deleted the log but I am unable to delete the values in the count graph?.

How do I re-initialise the lightning count.

Regards
and thanks.

Greetings Brian ,
My Button on Ver 9.32 or earlier does not clear the display or reset the counts ? , It still shows the green histogram and the Total counts and last strike time , the button depresses but nothing happens?.
I am running Win 2k Pro with 2 processors and latest service packs.

Ps It appears to be the only thing that I use thats not working?

hi all,

I have the LD from J Jennings now on my machine
It’s a serial coverted to usb connection (dell has no support for a second serial)
WinME did see the usb connection but no drivers in the database for it
so there is any connection but how tro translate to WD

Wd startup again but I only see at view (in grey) Lightening counts

Where to setup the lightning graph for my WMR900H ?
OOOOPs ?

go o setup, comport setup, and select the com port number to use for a dallas 1 wire and tick i want to usa a dallas 1 wire temp/hum sensor as well

then go to setup, dallas 1 wire setup, then it should detect the switch rom id there
then copy/paste that rom id into the lightnming rom id box and tick yu have a dallas 1 wire lightning counter, then click on save reset

ha just wake up and there was WD !
morning Brian, thanks reacting so fast but…this is a WMR900H

Setting up comport 5 (because I have a usb connection) ok ?
My sensors ‘2’ and ‘indoor’ reacting with: has an error

at place of IDchip ROM I see the values of my temp/hum, Hpa etc from my comport 1 (which is the interface from my weatherstation to my comp)

below that:
‘Re-searching for I buttons’
‘searching for weather stations sensors’ (repeating; searching)

and
‘current dir chip rom’
with
‘???’ at selected direction Rom
8O :frowning: :?: :twisted:
yeah this is your own bleeding weatherstation wmr900h :wink:

the ws2000 type station shares the same report window, but otherwise you can use a dallas 1 wire with one OK…
try ticking you have a usb type in the com port setup
the searching for weather station sensors, but not finding a switch i button, means its not working with the current com port configuration…

i tried comport 1 for normal interface AND usb for LD
afer a while it lost com 1

and then …BSD ! no worse… black screen at all

but anyway you have the experience that it works with ws2000, Brian
then i’ll keep trying

(I don’t have a ground wire yet (only testing…it’s -8C here and no lighting at all…and want to test with a lighter from my camera…do I still need the ground ? (maybe I have to ask Jim…)

The lighter will work just fine if it is VERY near (touching) the antenna, without a ground. Thats exactly how I tested mine before installing it.
:smiley:

i would download and use the i button viewer first…
(from the dallas semi web site), greg , what is the link again?

http://www.ibutton.com/software/tmex/

Look under Version 3.20 with drivers and iButton Viewer.

thanks for attention both,

ok I DL’ed :
Version 3.20 with drivers and iButton Viewer.
(TMEX with iButton Viewer (self-extracting executable). )

so
It makes an sub dir installation in dir WD
and then Wd recognize it automaticaly ?

the i button viewer is nothing to do with WD
its an independent application, by dallas semi conductor…

you need to get the correct com port with that application , and get it to recognise the switch i button (the lightning counter)…
its just easy to use it than WD, thats all…

hi all,

testing now
no comport but adaptor usb-serial
sees now comport 2
In WD set up Dallas 1 wire
is searching

says
no humidity / temp sensor (ticked my normal station has hum/temp)
no switch lightning counter

Is it neccesary while testing to get the ground connected (or only for save when in use)
What means is 1wire comm. channel shorted ? (Is that ground at pin 3 ?)

Hi all,

Discovered a lightning counter; did work
Saved and restarted WD
after that not working :cry:

When WD is closed
at searche it discovered DS9097U at com2 to Default 1-Wire Net {32-bit}
If WD start up no i-button could found at the port when searching

In my datafield
Program keeps searching each second and shows:

There is no Temperature Device on the port
There is no Temperature Device on the port
Re-searching for i-buttons…**
**Searching for Weather station sensors
Switch (windspeed or rain or lightening counter) i-button found ID 9400000004FD0E1D
Lightening detector found and allocated: 9400000004FD0E1D
etc.

But no counting flashes !

Is it normal when WD starts the default I button prog doesn’t see DS9097U ?
How to stop searching ?
I got each second datacount WD react very slow !!

Hi all,

My LD is counting
but the program keeps searching for other devices
ticked my normal station has temp/hum in the comport setup

but I get back like this :

There is no Humidity Device on the port
There is no Temperature Device on the port
There is no Temperature Device on the port

why ? WD is very slowly because it keeps searching for something thats not there and keeps telling me that it found the ID for the LD counter

It’s the LD from James Jennings

Anyone any ideas ?

i need to fix this
just have not had time
i have been swamped!
farm work, kids, emails…
arrgghh!
its just 1 person you know :slight_smile: (and florian holding up the server in germany)
and lots of support out there :slight_smile:

hi,

therefore I always ask other users of WD if they have solutions for or experiences with

sorry Ed
you poor european guys
you get me at the very end of my day, as i am about to go to bed, and i am at my most grumpiest!

Hi Ed,
In my setup area I have been getting ( no lightning device ) sometime after it’s been found and allocated .
Save/ reset button restores the device ( and then sometime later it happens again )
Told Brian about it last week but he’s been quite busy ( playing his new xbox ) LOL
He put the challenge to me to come and play against him on it
Anyway I sure he will sort it out eventually .
