Hi
I have Cumulus 1.8.8 on my Windows Home Server which is on 24x7 and has the N96GY USB cable plugged in to it. The only downside is that I have to remote in to it to use Cumulus. Is there any way I can run Cumulus on my desktop PC, referencing the data etc on the WHS box?

Re: Running on a different PC
Cumulus has to run on the machine that the station is connected to (with the exception of the Davis stations with IP connections). You can also get USB/IP software but I don't know how well that would work with Cumulus.
I also run Cumulus on WHS and don't find having to use RDC a problem. I also tend to look at my web site rather than the WHS box if I want a quick weather update.
The current plan - if I can get it all working - is that Cumulus 2 will consist of an 'engine' which runs as a Windows Service, with a separate 'viewer' which doesn't have to be on the same machine.

Re: Running on a different PC
Thanks Steve.
Yes, it's NBD using RDC, but I thought I'd ask
Looking forward to seeing C2 hit the streets
