I have been playing with this for a few days and have just successfully programed the security register on one of my clone loggers $\:D/$ . I need a guinea pig to try out the interface, any volunteers?

I'd love to.

Nope, if you trawl the forum you'll find that I was one of the first to supply 3rd party loggers, based on Dekays design. I have programmed the register on one of my clone loggers that uses the same chip as a davis logger, but i do not have a console to test it with.

I have a logger from the Travis design. So if I can help and test you're programming on a Vantage Vue, I can help
I also can test with a logger from Torkel

JohnA,

I think you may still be misunderstanding. I physically have a clone logger with a programmed dataflash chip on it, just not a Davis console with the firmware that previously made my logger incompatible. I would like to post it to someone in the UK (or europe) to verify that it works.

torkelmj

where are you based?

below is the data from the security register, I would be great if someone could try it as an alternative to me send a logger by post

this has been calculated from the look up table (bytes 1-64)
0x2D 0x10 0x5E 0x1C 0x67 0xD6 0x98 0xA9 0x21 0x25 0xFB 0x2D 0x2D 0x31 0x4E 0x39
0x18 0x1C 0x63 0x0C 0x31 0x21 0x35 0x25 0xAD 0x94 0x6F 0x6F 0x6B 0x77 0x73 0x7F
0x98 0x8C 0x88 0x84 0x80 0x9C 0x98 0x94 0x90 0xAD 0xA9 0xA5 0xA1 0xBD 0xB9 0xB5
0xB1 0xCA 0xCE 0xC2 0xC6 0xDA 0xDE 0xD2 0xD6 0xEB 0xEF 0xE3 0xE7 0xFB 0xFF 0xF3

this was the pre-programmed part of the logger (bytes 65-128)
0x0B 0x03 0x14 0x04 0x14 0x32 0x1F 0x22 0x00 0x00 0x32 0x00 0xFF 0xFF 0x46 0xFF
0x30 0x30 0x4D 0x32 0x36 0x39 0x35 0x38 0x10 0x0D 0x42 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF
0x43 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF
0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF

That is what I get from my spread sheet too

Though I am not 100% sure what you should do with the first three bytes, translate them, or leave them 'as-is'?

It doesn't seem to matter. Watson's (awesome) code just sets them to zero.

Minor question...

I have a friend with a Vantage Pro2 that also like to use the logger. So I'm going to build a 2nd logger, the Travis model, because I still have 2 of his PCB's laying around.
My question is, can I still use the programming Travis supplied with the v3 version or must I use the new supplied information.

John

belfryboy · « **Reply #157 on:** December 06, 2013, 04:23:11 AM »

I don't see any reason why the old data wouldn't work. The console do not talk to each other to see if another unit is using the same security details. Besides other are also using this data and not reporting problems.

JohnA · « **Reply #158 on:** December 06, 2013, 05:32:11 AM »

You have a point... thanks

belfryboy · « **Reply #159 on:** December 10, 2013, 06:14:10 AM »

Well it looks like I may be back in the game! new set of boards coming from oshpark.com thanks to all those that have worked hard on this. I beleive the Dataflash option to be the least hassle and most cost effective, and now I have found a way to program the security register I should be able to produce clone loggers and wireless interfaces again!

torkelmj · « **Reply #160 on:** December 10, 2013, 07:12:00 AM »

That's most welcome news. The wireless interfaces which were previously available look great!

Bushman · « **Reply #161 on:** December 10, 2013, 09:12:18 AM »

Since this is sorted, anyone considering adding an SD card to the DIY logger?

fcanete · « **Reply #162 on:** December 10, 2013, 01:38:43 PM »

Interesting post. I own a Vantage Vue UK model, and I'll made some test with an arduino uno...

Keep connected.

Thanks to all for this great work.

Good to see you back in business! I was hoping it wouldn't take that long after watson's awesome discovery. Somebody buy that guy a drink!

Well, if someone really wants to thank me.. he could send me some of his compatible loggers for free

I would gladly accept that gift, testing them on my network stations.

no worries, send me a pm with your address and I'll get one in the mail, gratis.

Thank you a lot (ps.: just sent to your @hotmail.com)

belfryboy · « **Reply #167 on:** December 11, 2013, 09:54:18 AM »

And for fun today I built a programming fixture that will enable me to read and program the dataflash chips before I solder them to the board.

belfryboy · « **Reply #168 on:** December 16, 2013, 01:50:31 PM »

My boards are shipping from oshpark.com later this week, and I hope to have a few loggers available early in the new year. It feels just like Christmas with all this anticipation......

Hi

Just got a UK Vantage Vue

with firmware 3.0 and serial number starting MF.
Is this module available prebuilt in the UK? If so, how much is it and how do I order one?

I'm assuming it functions the same as the genuine version (i.e. USB output to PC and will log data ok)

Cheers!

belfryboy · « **Reply #170 on:** December 27, 2013, 01:49:45 PM »

I will send you a personal message as soon as i get a chance to be near a pc. I hope to have these available early in the new year.

I have totally missed any mention of 'wireless interfaces' and fail to find any mention of them in this thread. Could some one post a link with further information please?

I'm in the same boat, interested too...

Belfryboy, do you sell any of these loggers to Spain?

Thanks in advance, and have a very good new year 2014!!
