Eelco and Matthew..I was away for a few days and did not see the additional posts. As I made upgrades to Weewx or when a new driver was posted, I tried them out. The reasons I rolled back to the particular one I am using are 1. The console time would drift, and 2. Disregding the time issue I

I edited ultimeter.py When restarting weewx, in the logs I find: engine: Clock error is -60.29 seconds (positive is fast) Jan 27 12:29:30 weatherstation weewx[13329]: engine: Starting main packet loop. So I guess it reads the clock of the ultimeter 2100 now, which was a minute behind indeed.

Thank you Steve, I'm afraid I don't understand your point completely. Are you saying that the driver you posted keeps the time of the ultimeter up to date, and the latest driver from Matthew doesn't? In the logs I see a mentioning of "station does not support time reading" or somesort. Has

Eelco...glad to hear you have it working now. One thing to watch is the time on the 2100 console itself. It should stay accurate and if it doesn't try the earlier driver version I posted Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

Ok, I did a rewiring of a new DB9 plug, according to the scheme on the site of peetbros. Now it works! So it was a wrong pinout on the DB9 plug. A bit strange, since it came straight from the importer of peetbros equipment in our country. Maybe just a monday morning example ;) Thanks for

Matthew, Thank you for your effort! It's still kinda weird though, and I'm still stuck. As for the wiring: First I checked the modular cable with a network tester I have. All 6 pins are connected (but in reverse order on the other end, as is the color scheme in the RJ25 connector.) I

If you try what Matthew suggests and everything appears ok, may try a different driver. There were several iterations of the Ultimeter driver, and I had problems with the last one (it would not keep proper time on my 2100 console). I am not saying this will take care of your problem, as
