Re: [weewx-user] Raspberry Pi and Vantage Pro2 ... not communicating properly

Thanks, Tom! I'll take a stab at the MAX3232 circuit and see what I can get running. Will post back, if the info might help someone else! Regards, Michael K6MLE On Monday, February 6, 2017 at 3:57:28 PM UTC-8, Tom Keffer wrote: > > Unfortunately, I am not an expert at this --- I regard

Unfortunately, I am not an expert at this --- I regard hardware as a necessary evil to run software. :-) Here's the definitive guide to getting around the serial lock out problem: *A fix for the firmware v. 3.xx problem in Davis Instruments Corp. weather stations by Torkel M. Jodalen

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the APRS logger, but I do recall hearing from a few other users who have one. For example, here is one thread on the topic. -tk On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 2:01 PM,

Re: [weewx-user] Raspberry Pi and Vantage Pro2 ... not communicating properly

Hello Tom, I do own a "Streaming Data Logger" (P/N 6540). It has been connected between my VP2 and a TNC, posing weather data on the APRS system. What I'd like to be able to do is to also post that data to WeatherUnderground and CWOP. I am under the impression that this can be accomplished

Re: [weewx-user] Raspberry Pi and Vantage Pro2 ... not communicating properly

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Do you own a logger? If so, why would you want to use it to "pull the data out and convert to RS232 levels?" Why not just use it directly? If you don't own a logger, are you trying to avoid buying one by connecting your VP2 directly to the RPi via serial

Hello, I have an RPi properly configured to allow the /dev/ttyAMA0 serial port to work. To verify this, I've jumpered pins 8 & 10 on the RPi GPIO connector, so data is looped back as I type. When connecting the VP2 and running 'sudo wee_device' I get:"weewx.WakeupError: Unable to wake up
