Dear tizza, Felix, and WeatherCat troubleshooters,
Whatever it did it switched my SLAB driver back AGAIN from NO to YES under a sys report>extension>SilLabs210x I have to get a new lead pronto!
OK so I replaced my USB cable and now I'm back to stage 1. Nothing will work again and yes I shutdown WC before I did it. Weather is now doing that annoying repetitive launch.
Look it did work well, I'll reboot
Sorry that you are having so much trouble with this. One of my concerns is that Silicon Labs would release a new version of this driver after the launch of El Capitan and not list it as El Capitan ready. I don't know what's going on here, but that is very strange.
Huh??? GitHub is the largest repository of open-source code in the world, Edouard!
I would have had no worries if this driver was also an open-source project. I had an open-source project of my own on SourceForge for a while. My worries are two-fold. Silicon labs haven't indicated that this is an open-source project, if it was you would expect some mention of it on the driver website. Second, the information about this GitHub repository is coming from a 3rd party website that I personally don't know anything about. So exactly what is the status of this driver?
It is commonplace for open-source projects to make development builds available. Usually though they are described as such. It could be that Silicon Labs decided to keep the code for this driver on GitHub. Perhaps they have nothing to fear in having people look at this code. Nonetheless, they aren't advertising that development builds are available. If they are available on the sly, one thing is for sure - anyone using them does so at their own risk.
There is clearly a potential problem with using Davis stations on El Capitan. If you cannot find a satisfactory driver but this one, desperate times require desperate measures. Still, I've run a Linux server with so much beta code that only about 50% was trustworthy. I guess I've grown old . . . living on the bleeding edge of software is likely to -
cut ya' . . . .
Oh well, . . . . Edouard
