Problems connecting to PC

Post by Flytyme69 »

I am having problems connecting my base station to my pc. I have checked my serial port with a loopback tester and it test perfect. I have a laptop with a built in serial port running win 7 pro, I have deleted the com port and reinstalled it with no luck... I hope I do not have a bad console.

It just seems to be unable to read any sensible data from the station. All I can suggest is that you make sure your serial port is set to: Baudrate 2400, Bits 8, Parity None, Stopbits 1.

Nope... I have tried Cumulus, heavy weather, and even downloaded weather display trial just to see, and tried it on both my laptops, and my home server.... gonna call La Crosse and see what they say... not real happy with this station at the moment, and don't have the money to get a real weather station... smh :-(
