Weathercat not showing usb connection option
manitario:
Hi, I have a Davis Vantage Vue with the Davis datalogger. Have been using this setup for the last 6 years; every month or so I download the data onto the computer via a USB connection. This month I went to do the same; plugged in the USB and opened Weathercat and found that the USB option on the drop down comm port was gone ie. the /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART option was no longer there. I tried re-installing the Silicon Labs driver (and authorized it through security preferences) and still don't have the option to connect. Using Mojave on a 2019 Macbook pro. Thoughts???

Troubleshooting my own problem here; in system report the SiLabsUSB Driver is listed as installed but not loaded. I assume that somehow it needs to be loaded for it to work? I did authorize it in the security preferences when I initially installed it.
Blicj11:
I assume this is the version of the driver you are using?
CP210x Macintosh OSX VCP Driver 5.2.1 - September 9, 2019
manitario:
Yes, that's it.

Dear manitario, Blick, and WeatherCat troubleshooters,

Try removing all drivers (in case there are more than one,) reinstalling the latest driver, and authorizing once more the driver in the security pane of the system preferences. I vaguely recall having a similar problem where Apple "claimed" I had authorized it but in fact the system didn't accept the authorization.
Let us know if that does the trick for you.
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]
