Heavy Weather for Mac?
« on: November 21, 2009, 06:20:41 PM »
Hi everyone.  I just purchased the new La Crosse 2810U (got a great deal at Costco for $79).  This is my first station and so I'm still learning quite a bit as I go.  My question is whether or not I have any options for getting my data to my mac.  It appears Heavy Weather (at least this version) is only compatible with PCs.  Is there any other software available to get this station to communicate with my mac? 

Thanks in advance!

I know Weather-Display has a Mac version. I don't have any experience using the Mac version, however. That's the only one that I know of.

Thanks for the reply.  I checked out Weather Display.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like my weather station is supported.

Thanks.  Looks like another great program for the mac.  However, it doesn't look like my station (La Crosse 2810) is supported here either.

Ah, I thought you were using a WS-2308, I missed the digit.

You might want to email Stu over at Lightsoft and confirm that your station is not supported.  It might be able to connect using one of the other La Crosse station drivers.  I swear by LWC!   Best weather software out there on ANY platform hands down! I know cause I tried EVERYTHING there is to try on Mac and Windows before I laid my money down!  \:D/
