VP2 console unable to communicate with new Vue ISS
« on: July 07, 2018, 08:53:13 AM »
Hi,

I recently bought a new Vue ISS to go with my VP2 console. I cant seem to be able to get the two of them communicating with each other though.
I have the Station ID set to 3 on the VP2 console ( Default Channel 1 is in use by another Davis station in the area )
The ID is set to 3 on the Vue itself ( confirmed by the blinking LED test )

Am I missing something here ? ](*,)

Any help appreciated !

Are you US or International. Both have a different broadcast signal.

I've just realised this !
My VP2 console says "US" and the Vue is a UK version !!

I'm based in Ireland, my VP2 must be an american import, I bought it from an enthusiast a few years ago and its worked fine until the VP2 ISS started having issues.

I guess I'll have to speak to ProData about returning this Vue and getting a VP2 ISS or getting the Vue Console :(

Check wifilogger thread. I'm not up on it but there may be a work around.

You should be able to switch the console to EU frequencies. The US/EU consoles *should* be interchangeable.
You need to hook up a serial terminal to the console and issue a few commands then reset the console.

Code: [Select]
TST 1
BAND 1
DOMAIN 2
TST 0

Hmm 🤔
I'll give that a go now!
Just use putty or hyperterminal?
