Can't Get Cumulus to Work with My Weather Station

Post by dcdandrid09 »

Hello I have a Radio Shack 63-256 Weather Station. It connects to my computer with a USB. I have Cumulus Version 1.8.9 Build 930 and I did the setup with choosing USB and I chose WM 918 just like the help said to for radio shack. But nothing comes up. Everything is at 0 and I tried restarting as well as playing around with com numbers.
I am stumped and don't know what to do. Can anyone help me?

Cumulus currently only works with Radio Shack weather stations which are the equivalent of the Oregon Scientific WM918, WMR928 etc. I don't quite know what a 63-256 is, but it isn't one of those. From a picture I found, it looks like it might be the equivalent of a WMR-200, which is on the list for being supported, but isn't yet, and I can't say when it will be.
