Re: changed batteries - now no data being received

Guys, I've lost my instructions for the maplin fine offest weather station, and due to relocating the shed it the sensors were attached to took the opportunity to replace the batteries, and now I'm not receiving any data. I'm sure I need to "pair" up the two devices some how.. but can't re...

Re: 1-wire info and recommendations

Not sure if this is of any help, but googling turned up a surplus supplier which seemed to have supplies available. However the min order seems to be £150, but then I'm sure if you bought up the stock you could recover some cost by reselling them as it seems that there is still a demand for this chi...

Re: 1-wire info and recommendations

Gina, it might be that as it's Sunday and they need to give the exact cost of shipping overseas and can't do so that's why they are not processing international orders. It might be worth trying to place the order on Tuesday when (possibly) the offices are manned

Re: 1-wire info and recommendations

One other protocol you might want to consider is SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). There may be more options, and some may include counters, but I've not checked.

Re: 1-wire info and recommendations

They produce just the ONE counter chip in the whole 1-wire range, advertise and extol it's virtues for 10 years then suddenly (once everyone has designed their stuff round it) stop producing it. "How to win friends and influence people" - I think NOT!! Disgusted of Devon!! LOL -love the s...

Re: cosmetic issue in build 969

Hmmm. I guess the colour settings window shouldn't take the same colour as the other windows... :lol: The background colour is the second one down in the first column. Steve, just noticed that I too have the same issue if you select a black background and have black text on the main panels and then...

Re: Concentrate on Cumulus 1 or 2?

Well, at the end of the day, I'm the one writing and supporting the software and giving it away without any expectation of recompense. So, while I might solicit opinion from time to time, just occasionally I do something because I want to do it. Have you read the thread that you've quoted? Steve, t...

Re: Concentrate on Cumulus 1 or 2?

After seeing the feedback Steve, have you made any sort of definitive decision on what to go ahead with yet mate? Cumulus 1, for now. Have you not seen all the beta versions of Cumulus 1 that I've been releasing in the last few months? I posted about this back in September: https://cumulus.hosiene....
