Hi everyone,
I am Alan Rowley and I live in Selston, Nottinghamshire, UK. I own a Vantage Pro2 with UV and solar sensors.
For the last six years, I have been running the Windows version of Weather Display in a Parallels Virtual Machine on my creaking old MacBook Pro. I have wanted to ditch Windows for ages, but I never had the courage to change to the Mac version of WD until I had some problem with my MacBook Pro, which I still haven't got to the bottom of.
Anyway, neither the Windows version of WD, nor the Mac version, would communicate with the data logger. Incidentally, neither would WeatherCat. I eventually put it down to the latest USBtoUART drivers being incompatible with my old Mac, but that's a guess.
In desperation, I moved the weather station console to my new Mac Mini and installed WD for Mac, and WeatherCat. I was very impressed with WeatherCat and decided to go with that, despite 'losing' six years of data. The data is still there, and when I have completed my website, I will ensure that users can easily find the old data.
I also decided to go with the Leuven template as I felt that my old site needed a makeover. So, not only do I have to get to grips with WeatherCat, I also need to learn the new template. You can see my efforts at the links below ...
Old site | New siteI know I have a long way to go to get back to where I was, and I will certainly be asking for advice. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying WeatherCat, which has now been running for three days with no errors or crashes.
