Ive tired a difference pc and still no luck... Any help? We had this kit a few years back and it was a bit of a pain - I think it may have used a serial interface to talk to the weather station. Have you checked that the batteries in the weather station and any interfaces are charged?

Just need to sort out the web site of things.
newpersn Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Has anyone got the active viewer working? Ive got it connected to the server... (via another server) and it comes up with "Current Site down or data collision occured" I'm i missing something....
Dos_Box Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Ah Weather View. I had some fun with this years back. I'm sorry to say I can't help with the web side but what I did find is that hardware was often reluctant to talk to it unless everything was 'just so' in WV. Often this would involve hidden settings seemily unrelated to what you were actually doing. 1
newpersn Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 The software is crap. Unless I'm missing something it's all gotta be ftp to a server. It's a pain in the ass. As I left work I thing I got it working.... Time will tell on Monday
southhamster Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Don't know if it works with this weather station but cumulus weather software from sandaysoft (donatioware)works with lots of different hardware. Using it at one of my schools with a maplin weather station. Only issues are due to the cheap hardware. There is beta version which works on a raspberry pi too. 1

It's on the unsupported list Any other software that might work with it?
truebluesteve Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Yes it is rubbish - I tried a couple of times to get support from them but never heard a thing back. Another load of money wasted!
