Weathercat and Mac M3 with Tahoe O/S

[JohnS]

I've been using Weathercat with my Davis Vantage Pro2 and USB data logger for many years, but since recent updates to Mac M3/Tahoe I can't connect to the console at all.

I've tried everything I can find on the web but nothing seems to work. The Mac doesn't accept me trying to download Python 3 or download the latest Silicon Labs driver (or I'm not good enough tech wise to make it happen) and I can't use Weathercat on my windows 11 laptop, so I think I may have to go down the Weatherlink.com cloud route in future (reluctantly as I like Weathercat).

One big problem will be accessing historical data - is there any (not highly technical) way of displaying this even if it is not in the same place as my future weather data on the cloud? I do have an iPad but I don't know if that would work either.

Thanks.

Hi,
Please see the FAQ at https://trixology.com/frequently-asked-questions/, most likely issue is the SiliconLabs driver, relevant Q's are 3 and 5.

Thanks I'll keep trying with the silicon labs driver install

OK things have moved on a bit but still a problem. I've reinstalled the Silicon Labs driver (success message and access allowed in settings) and also Python 3 and its allied SSL certificate (success message again).
Weathercat 3 opens and seems to talk to the console in that it displays the same date/time/temperature and wind data but it can't load data from the Weatherlink data logger (this always used to work before the last Mac update). I've checked connections and also changed to a different usb mini to usb lead but no luck - just the spinning wheel on Weathercat saying waiting for data to be readied.
Any ideas what I might need to do?

QUICK UPDATE - I thought I needed to use system configuration to let Weathercat id the Silicon driver, but if I select Davis Vantage Vue in the staton comms box there is no option for the silicon drivers and no way to edit the box to show a path (not that I know what the path should be). Is this the problem?
