Topic: 1.82 Datalogger Firmware Update 13 Jan 09 Released

Bushman, I'm pretty sure if you remove batteries and power before beginning a firmware update, that your update won't get very far at all and if you remove power in the middle of the update, then you will be in the market for a replacement console or Envoy.

The person who wrote that line, "and ensures that no EEPROM or FLASH writes are in process when the power is removed" must have copied some of that from the logger installation directions and simply added it to the updating procedure.  Obviously that person has never actually carried out an actual firmware update in either device.

heheeh...  I know.  Man, those instruction bite.  BTW, if you have a USB  logger, the FW could infact  be updated without the power cord or batterieis since USB has 5 v on the  bus.

Like you said "that person has never actually carried out an actual firmware update in either device".

For the VP2, just do steps 1, 2, and 3, Don't remove pwr, Press/hold DONE to bring console out of setup, and then update the clock.  Restart VWS/WL.

Thanks for confirming Lee!

I was still using version 1.60.
Guess I need to keep up on these updates.
Worked as advertised, just had to reset the clock.

[Bushman]

I just did this, no clock reset required.  GO figure.

Cool.  'Bout time.  Do you have VWS/Davis time sync

[Bushman]

Nope!  I am only using WL and no other weather SW.
