How is the rain collector heater working out?

Now I can confirm that the heater works just fine, It have started to snow and the heater did melt the snow.

And before the snow was melted in the rain gauge so did the leaf wetness sensor pick up the snow.

I guess you're going to have to change the website and WU and all that other stuff you're sending data to.    :-k

I have made the changes to my own website, but what is there to change on WU?


You could have both uploading to WU.  (I have three)




Greg, that's interesting. What software do you use?

I use WUHU.  I have three instances of it running, each instance set up for a different weather station (WS-2315, WMR968 and VP-2).  I suppose I could run as many instances of WUHU and weather stations only limited by the number of serial/usb ports on the computer. (I'm not an expert, so don't quote me on that).

Lars, I have a couple of old serial port pci cards laying around. I believe they have to ports on them. Could insert one in your current computer?

Zero! Give me sometime to dig through the storage boxes. PM your mailing address. I'll list as a gift under $10 US for customs.

I can imagine the shipping cost for the board to Sweden was more than the original price of the board. ;) I too will do some tipping to "ole Bob" for his generosity! :grin:
