Hi Werk,

I've just powered up the freshly built Pro2 Plus board and have a couple of questions:

1) The boot is initially ok, but whilst pausing in the 'Please wait' window, the boot process stops with --R on the display and the COM LED lit. I assume that the software is waiting for data input from the Tx units? If so does --R indicate what data the unit is waiting for?

2) So far my Tx units (I have 2) still have the original (latest) Pro2 programming. Is this likely to be the problem? Do I need to reprogram both Tx units with the software contained in the Pro2 Plus build for the Rx to receive data from them? 

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Zak

Hi,

1) The boot is initially ok, but whilst pausing in the 'Please wait' window, the boot process stops with --R on the display and the COM LED lit. I assume that the software is waiting for data input from the Tx units? If so does --R indicate what data the unit is waiting for?

The --R means that the unit already received a data packet with Rain data, and is waiting for two other data packets (external Temperature / Humidity data, and Wind data)

2) So far my Tx units (I have 2) still have the original (latest) Pro2 programming. Is this likely to be the problem? Do I need to reprogram both Tx units with the software contained in the Pro2 Plus build for the Rx to receive data from them? 

For now, that is not necessary. The Pro2 PLUS can receive data from every TX unit running Pro2 software.
My suggestion is for you to re-check the user configurable settings, especially in this section:

Code:

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   Define the source of your main outside sensors
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ---- If you have all the sensors connected to only one TX board, always select Unit 0 as source
// ---- Define the source of your main Temperature / Humidity sensor
#define TH_OutUnit       0   // 0 for Temp/Hum sensor connected to TX_Unit 0, 1 for Temp/Hum sensor connected to TX_Unit 1
// ---- Define the source of your Main Wind sensor
#define WIND_OutUnit     0   // 0 for Wind instruments connected to TX_Unit 0, 1 for TX_Unit 1
// ---- Define the source of your main Rain Gauge
#define RAIN_OutUnit     0   // 0 for Rain Gauge connected to TX_Unit 0, 1 for TX_Unit 1, 3 for Auriol RF Rain Gauge
// ---- Define the source of your main Solar / UV sensores
#define SRUV_OutUnit     1   // 0 for Solar Rad / UV sensors connected to TX_Unit 0, 1 for TX_Unit1, 9 for not used
// ---- Define installed Solar / UV Sensors
#define Solar_Sensor     1   // 0 for not present; 1 for present
#define UV_Sensor        1   // 0 for not present; 1 for present
#define UV_Transmission 65   // UV Transmission percentage of UV sensor cover material

Thank you for the explanation of the codes. I simply had the ID's of my two Tx units the wrong way round. It's all working perfectly now.

Many many thanks,

Is good to know, thanks!
