Ok done everything as in 1- Wire Lightning Detector Installation, but no joy.
Got Version 10.31s installed
Installed all the windows stuff (framework etc)
Restarted the comp serveral times but the 1 wire does not show. The one wire drivers detect the usb thingy but wd does not want to know about it.
I do not get a ROM ID.
Any ideas why?
Please help 
have you set the com port number to use for the 1 wire as 1 and ticked to use USB 1 wire in the com port setup?
(1 being usb 1 wire port 1 and not com port 1)
Yep done that, even checked and double checked the wiring.
1 in the "dellas 1 wire extra temp/hum sensors comport port
Ticked:
I want to use a 1 wire device with my weather station
I do not have a 1 wire temperature sensor in use
Comport section
Ticked :
USB Port (Use th I button viewer to find the port number) <— what is that about? I pressed the “I” button but nothing happend. I used the driver software to find the com port and it shows:
PC port type: USB
Adapter Required: DS9490
Port Number 1
So that is all set to go.
In Dallas 1 wire setup age.
Clicked the save/reset but no romID is shown.
Hope this additional info helps.
Thanks

try a restart of WD (give her a kick in the guts Trev 
)
Make sure when you are installing the USB adaptor that you do not have the 1-wire network connected…
Once it is installed then attach your 1-wire network, with the lightning detector on it and then launch WD.
If that still doesn’t work then check your wiring to the lightning detector itself…

One Button Viewer lets you see if your 1 wire device is working. You can download it here:
:lol: :multi: :-({|=
Ok done and dusted, up and running. It was wires, must have pulled to hard, I put a new cable on and hoppa I got an id.
Now next question, what is good software to use for detection (appart from WD). I like to have an idea how far the storms are away etc.
Thanks.
