Console Battery reads zero

Steve, I just upgraded to Beta 1.9.1 build 982. I have a Davis Vantage Pro 2. The console battery reads 0 (zero). I run two copies of Cumulus simultaneously and the other version build 171 shows battery voltage correctly. Prior to upgrading both sessions of Cumulus showed the battery voltage as being equal. I looked around the site but didn't see anything on this. Is this a bug or do I need to do something else.

Thanks.

I haven't changed that code, and 1.9.1 is showing the battery voltage correctly for me. What firmware version does your VP2 have? Although I assume you are using Virtual VP, so it would be up to that to return the battery voltage to Cumulus. Version 1.9.1 probably uses a later version of the Davis DLL, so maybe VVP has a problem with that. But no-one else has the problem, with or without VVP, as far as I am aware.

Steve,

Thanks, it seems to be working now. The console batteries were in need of changing, the voltage had dropped fairly low. New batteries and it see's the voltage.
