NEW: Meteobridge can share a connected Vantage with another program
grahaml:
Hi Folks,
New to this so please be gentle ....
I've just set up a Davis Vantage Pro2+ with USB data logger and a Meteobridge. I was hoping to exploit the Port 22222 capability with the Weatherlink software, but I'm receiving the error described earlier in the thread (see attached) that the port is already in use. According to the System tab on Meteobridge (see attached) I'm using Meteobridge 2.5 (Feb 24 2015, build 6013), FW 1.4. I'm using the Davis Instruments Australia DB100AU.
The Meteobridge is communicating fine with weatherunderground (via my LAN) and I'm able to talk to the meteobridge through its web interface so the connections seem good.
Any ideas as to what might be going on?
Cheers,
Graham

As you are not using the mandatory usb hub for your usb datalogger, that might be the root course of trouble. Please add a passive usb hub and try again.

Thanks for the reply docbee,
That's a little detail that's missing from the third party doco, although I can see it on the meteobridge wiki.
Curiously, it's having no trouble receiving data from the Vantage Pro2 via USB and displaying "live" and also uploading to weather underground - even without a hub. I've encountered stranger things so i'll pick up a USB 2 hub tomorrow and hopefully that'll do the trick.
Thanks again,
Graham

Hi Folks,
Thank you for your help so far.
I added the passive USB 2.0 hub but it all continued to work as before. I'm still receiving the same error when i try to connect to the Meteobridge with the Weatherlink software. The weatherunderground upload continues to work very well.
Any thoughts?
Ta,
Graham

Hi Folks,
I resolved this issue. Originally I was using a wireless access point that was connected to my modem/router via wired ethernet. I found that when I moved to the Access point built into the modem/router it all came good. I probably have some incorrect setting in the access point (which is itself a router configured as an access point). Anyway, all good.
No USB hub required with my recently purchased Vantage Pro2+ though.
Cheers,
Graham
