Thanks guys I will drop into my local store and see what they say.

I dropped into my local store in Midland and the guy just gave me a blank look. I said don't worry I'll got to the Perth store. He then looked even more puzzled (i think he did not know there was one) #facepalm DSE all over again?

Have not made it the Perth store just yet will be going in the next few weeks.

I now have the web site running on a machine on my network.

Have the anemometer, wind direction and rain gauge setup on the shed.

Still need to get the temperature/humidity sensor mounted out side of the shed.

Now all I need is for it to rain so I can see Rainfall readings.

The Link on the Worldwide users map is pointing to the website.

Its under Mackay, Australia.

Hi Darryl

Is nice to know that you already have your WeatherDuino Pro2 weather station running, and uploading data to your personal weather station web pages. Congratulations!!!
I hope that your new weather station gives you many years of fun and reliable data. As much as I know, you are the second one in Australia doing it, and the first, outside of the developers / testers group.

From what you said I understand that you are still testing the system. I had give a look to your web pages, and your data seems stable without glitches or strange spikes, which proves that the RF link is working very well. How far is your TX unit from the RX unit?

Your forum user group has now changed to WD Operator
Thanks for having updated your location.

Now you already have Rainfall readings! yeh, sometimes I give a look to your weather station web pages

If you would like that the type of your weather station appear as WeatherDuino Pro2 intead of Davis Vantage Pro2, in your Cumulus.ini file, change the Model name to:

Model=WeatherDuino Pro2

I am finding the the rain fall is reading a bit on the low side. I changed the setting so that it now runs from 9am to 9am instead of midnight to midnight. I be able to see what rain we had over a 24 hour period without getting up and checking at midnight.

I want to test the RX board with a Linux computer running WeeWX weather software. I am still building up a second RX board so that I don't have to bring down the system.

I checked the distance from the transmitter to the receiver. It's 18.5m and the signal has to travel through a metal shed then through 3 rooms that have solid timber walls. All I am using for the antennas are 2 164mm bits of cable that I pulled out of lenght of cat6 network cable.

It will work, if you will be able to change the Davis Vantage driver handshaking from hardware to none.

The reliability of the RF link is one of the strongest points of the WeatherDuino Pro 2 system. Since the beginning it's one of the aspects, that deserves more attention from my side. Thanks for sharing this info.
