General Computing/Macintosh / WC not seeing my VP2 Serial via Startech USB adapter on M1 MacMini
« Last post by FurryOne on March 21, 2026, 06:39:49 PM »
I'm currently running Weather Display on an old Intel MacMini via Keyspan USB adapter.  I've split the RS232 stream to run one side into a StarTech USB adapter to an M1 MacMini with the Prolific driver.  WeatherCat setup IDs the port, but fails to see the Station.  I see in the WC setup that the VP2 Console's Forecast Ticker should not be running, but there is no information in the Davis manual on how to turn it off.  Is this possibly a problem with the Startech adapters?  (Yes, I've removed the rs232 splitter and got the same results.).

General Weather Discussion / March Equinox . . . (Re: Moods of the sky . . . 2026)

Dear WeatherCat observers of the season's turning,

Whatever the weather might be in your corner of the world, tomorrow is the March Equinox.  In the northern hemisphere that is supposed to usher in spring and in the southern hemisphere autumn.  Here is a webpage with the exact moment in your local time zone:

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20260320T1446&msg=March%20equinox%202026

I've been struggling with insomnia so my early rising just isn't happening anymore.  Still, I did manage to capture this image shortly after sunrise:



Note the spider web to the left of the anemometer.  This isn't the usual winter to spring transition that I would normally expect.

As if that wasn't enough of a "surprise," we are having our air conditioner tuned up on the last day of winter.  Enough said!!

I wouldn't have known if not for your post report. No one let us know over on the WXForums, which I check every day. I just posted an update to Reinhard's thread over there so anyone else in the dark will know.

Hey Steve, I was looking for you to chime in on one of these boards. Glad to see you joining the party.

Hey! Nobody told me we were back! I didn't know until John marked a post as spam. Thanks for that, John.

And look, a new version to fiddle with! I will be of limited value, as my station is not performing well. My newish anemometer is kaput, and I'm not keen to buy yet another. Correct rain reporting is intermittent, too. I replaces the supercap, battery, and solar cover last summer, but I'm thinking the board might be the problem. At that point, is it worth fixing, just replace entirely, or use Apple weather.  [banghead]

It is good to see some activity here,
Steve

That is a very interesting perspective on the environmental and social impacts of daylight saving time.

[edit] But wait, this screenshot is from another build - isn't it? Because the latest build I am using doesn't provide an additional station - the feature is greyed out...  ???

Correct, the screenshot is not from the dev 6 release but should make an appearance in some future release.

WeatherCat Feature Requests / Second station for additional channels
« Last post by wurzelmac on March 15, 2026, 07:29:22 AM »
Now that V4 is in the pipeline, let me request a feature that can use a second station for additional channels and sensors, for example:

Using a Davis WLL as main station, adding an Ecowitt GW3000 as an extra station with all the really affordable sensors Ecowitt offers.

Cheers,
