OUT OF PRODUCTION, SORRY!

I have several interfaces assembled and boxed and ready to ship. Availability is limited until I receive more parts and can build up more stock. Please PM or email me for the ordering URLs, so I don't get over sold. Ask about international shipping. I've successfully sent these to the UK, AU, NZ and other locales.
Also, based on inquiries, I've added a 25' cable option.

Hi
Great work !!! Can you tell me if it possible to update the firmware of the console with your interface ? not with the direct pc install but with the separate .bin file (http://davisnet.com/support/weather/downloads/software_direct.asp?SoftCat=2&SoftwareID=203) because i need to translate the forecast located in the firmware in french and to send the translated firmware in the console.
Best regards
SLOweather:
I have done the direct PC firmware update with this interface. I don't believe that it's possible to perform an update with it which requires the Davis Updater, although I've never tried it.

Chris, it sounds like you may not have used the updater? If you check the 6311 documentation at:
www.davisnet.com/weather/products/wx_product_docs.asp?pnum=06311VP2
you'll see that you actually have to remove any logger before using the updater. The 6311 pack contains a 'link program adapter' which plugs direct into the console socket . (If you think about this makes sense, because not everyone with a console will have a logger and so Davis needed to provide some way of updating the console firmware without forcing users to buy a logger.)
SLOweather:
Yeah, I used the updater several years ago to do the update which enabled the follow-on direct PC updates. Actually, I rented it from Davis and then sub-rented it to a bunch of other Davis owners so we all paid only a few $$ for the use of it.
I thought meteo.quimper was asking if my serial interface could be used to perform an update which otherwise requires the Davis updater.
