Title: Weathercat and Mac OS Sonoma
Post by: WeatherguyNH on December 10, 2023, 03:43:18 PM

Hi All:

I am still on Monterey and everything is working fine.
I am thinking about updating to Sonoma.
I can not find any posts relating to WC and Sonoma, so wondering if anyone has made the leap and how are things working with regard to WC?

Thanks for any replies

Great news!
I thought there might be kernel issues with SILabs…….but, I guess not.

Thank you both………

I bought an intel based Mac Mini (2018) with Sonoma but now the key span/Tripplite usa19hs usb to serial adapter does not work anymore.
I then tried a newer Star-Tech ICSUSB232V2 (which is said to be macOS 14 compatible) but no luck.

Does anyone here have a working adapter for the WC - Sonoma - Davis combination?

I have a plug in module for the console that connects the console (older version) to a computer.  Might this be what you need?

Thanks, and yes, I felt it was time to get something new and say good-bye to USB-to-RS232 adapters once and for all. With the newer macOS releases it is too much of a hassle (at least for me) to keep things going.

After some research on the various options I decided to get a Meteobridge Nano SD https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Meteobridge_NANO_SD (https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Meteobridge_NANO_SD) (an earlier post on this forum helped me make a decision - thanks @dfw_pilot  ThU32:-))
Using the IP protocol across my LAN is the way to go (WLIP to WC), plus it gives me new features and serves as a nice backup in case Stu decides it is time to pull the plug on WC (heaven forbid!).
