15.3.2 update miraculously fixes Mac recieving logger data
« on: March 12, 2025, 08:13:31 PM »
Just after I updated my Mac several months ago to 15.3.1 my 24" Mac stopped receiving console data. I didn't really equate it with the update happening until about eight hours of trying to resolve the issue. I went through all the steps to numerous to recount here and even purchased a newer logger on eBay - still NADA. I have two other Macs and I installed the software/and files on them and NADA on those computer too no data transfer – BTW all were at 15.3.1. I  I called Davis and told them what I went through and all the steps they mentioned that  I had done. I said could it be just a problem with the console and the rep agreed ultimately had to be the console - although my console was receiving data. So I purchased new console on eBay which looked almost new. But last night before the console was due to arrive today I updated my Mac to 15.3.2 and went to bed. Today, the new console came and I went to hook it up and what do I find – WeatherCat is up and running on my computer from my old console (with a eBay logger in it. I happened to look at the WeatherCat gauges yesterday morning, and they were allshoing no data. Now they are all showing data. My conclusion is has to be something that the update fixed. But I'm just curious if anybody else had this issue. I'm still not 100% sure that the update was the fix it but that's what I'm going with for now

The other thing I noticed about the new console when I installed my old logger in it and powered it up was that on the screen was the message INCOMPAT LOG at the bottom of the screen. I assume it must mean "incompatible logger". I think I read in another posting that the newer made consoles didn't  support the old loggers – even though the logger was exactly what Davis said I should purchase and there was the same connector in it for a logger.  Maybe I got the story wrong but I'm also curious about console/logger compatibility if this happens again.

Thankfully Problem. Solved.

I love it when a WeatherCatter finds a solution, even as in your case, where the solution found you.
