I am looking for weather forecasting software that will enable for me to load past data via text or xls files and give me a forecast. I will not be using a...
Does anyone have a version of heavyweather that works with the WS3600? On one of my computers it connects reads the data once and then ends up displaying...
OK, Have some more information. It works on a PC (ie fixed Serial ports) The issue would appear to be with USB-Serial Interface cables (as my laptops do not...
Dave, It is my understanding that the 3600 uses the serial handshake lines to communicate with the unit whereas the 2300 uses regular serial communications. I...
Mine works. You have to have the special version of HW for the 3610. The serial port must be a stock PC serial port on the motherboard because of the totally...
3610 does not transmit serial data on the RS232 TD and RD lines. Instead, they bit-bang data using RTS/CTS/DTR/DCD by some bizzare means. I could not get the...
Handshaking configuration in Windows applies only to the serial COM driver. I doubt that HeavyWeather uses that mode but instead manages its own low level API...
I believe they are accessing the hardware handshake lines using the Win32 API. I would guess that most USB serial converters do not properly handle the...
I seem to get erratic updates to wunderground using WUHU with my Setup. Hardware Lacrosse WS3600, P4 1500Mb RAM Software Latest Heavyweather PRO wnd XP Pro ...
There may be a problem with the WS-3600 version of Heavyweather. 0.5mm of rain is recorded by the unit and in the history.dat file and current.1st holds 0.5 in...
That is interesting. Looking at the Heavyweather site, it appears the version that you have does work with Publisher, so that should be fine. Do you know how...
David, That is interesting. The inch field is always zero? I can patch the code to use the mm values over the in values if needed. Do we know how many fields...
Hi, The currdat.lst is updating every 60sec. I changed the WUHU update to 60sec aswell. The upload is not always that erratic. Check out my site with link to...
That is interesting. It does appear that the uploads do cease for a period of exactly one hour. Do you have any sort of scheduled tasks or power-saving...
I forgot to mention, when using FileGaurd, you also need to click the check box to enable events to monitor, "File Modifications" before hitting start. Thanks....
Yes and all 3 of them show 0.00 for the Inch value where the mm values (right above the Inch values in the file) are 0.5, 2.5, 2.5 respectively. I switched the...
Some further information: 1. Setting WS3600 Heavyweather Rain units to inches writes the correct value to current.1st (at least the 2 total fields) 2. At...
I'll give it a go, but I don't have time the next couple of weeks. I'll move everything to a dedicated computer this autumn. Hopefully that will cure most of...
Current.1st doesn't hold any Wind Gust information even though it is stored and displayed in history.dat. I thought it strange when my unit was displaying...
David, You are correct. A couple of months ago we experienced a severe storm. The gusting winds were probably in excess of 60 mph. A large tree in my front...
I believe that it's a fact that LaCrosse obtains their products from a particular company in China, and that company sells to other than LaCrosse for certain...
Hi, I have a question about Heavyweather Review. The graphs it provides are great but I have not been able to find a way to graph wind direction, only wind...
I think the issue is that there is no gust information at all in the current.1st file - just the wind value in all units. My history.dat file is updated every...
David, I am not certain, but I believe the history.dat is written at a minimum of 5 minute intervals. If the Heavyweather application were to write currdat.lst...
It wouldn't matter how often they write the data to current.1st The problem is that they are NOT writing gust information to it. Cheers David Higgins ...
David, I am guessing that the unit is measuring current wind speed in a given time interval. It may or not be capturing the gust speed and reporting that value...
Are we talking WS2300 or WS3600 here? The doco for the WS3600 specifically states that it reports wind gust information. Wind Gust *is* displayed in the unit...
David, I was refering to the WS2300 series. I was not aware that the WS3600 maintained gust informaiton. Do we know if the gust information is stored in the...
David, I found the info for decoding the history.dat file. You are right, the 3600 does record wind gust whereas the 2300 does not. HeavyWeather History File...
