Hi all,
looking forward to getting the software installed and talking to my weather station (fingers crossed).
I've just ordered a WH1090 and am expecting it in the next couple of days - however, if anyone has the WH1090 (or even a WH1080 since I believe they're the same) who could confirm what length of USB cable typically comes with the station and what type of connector it is i.e. normal square, micro, mini?
Thanks

Mine came with a 3m cable with 'standard' type A plugs on each end.

I can't honestly recall whether or not mine came with a usb lead, but if it did it must have been pretty short (less than 1 metre) as i ended up ordering a 5 metre cable to enable the display screen to sit on a bookcase and a cable run (discreetly) to my laptop!

Mine came with a 1 meter type A at both ends. Why do you need to order?

Look like I'm outvoted
Maybe I'm not using the original cable...
