I’m an eval user trying to get Weather Display up and running on macOS Big Sur 11.2.3. I’m trying to use the setup wizard, and when I get to the Comm Port setup want to use TCP. Unfortunately the Enable checkbox, port number and server are greyed out and I can’t enter info into them. TCP/IP Davis VVP/ etc. does allow data entry, but I have a Peet Brothers Ultimeter 2100 so that seemed a little strange to use.
I currently have a serial/ethernet converter feeding my 2100 into Weathersnoop successfully.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
the mac version only supports a normal serial usb connection for that station type
the tcp settings you are trying to use are for a different station type
but there is a way to set weather snoop up as a server
so it can share data
at least there used to be
see if you get set in a terminal window
curl http://(weathersnoop IP):(weathersnoop IP)/weather.xml -o “data.txt”
i.e replace ( and in between to ) with the IP address and same for port to weather snoop server
and then see if a data.txt file is produced
eg like
curl http://192.168.0.5:80/weather.xml -o “data.txt”
Actually I’ve tried something like that with weathersnoop to export the JSON file which I use with a personal program I’ve written to export the data and post it to a web page I’ve written at a site I manage. I was hoping to be able to have WD do it all… I do have a serial/usb cord that I can “borrow” from another use and test WD. I appreciate the answer.
Off topic, is there a place to have WD forum send me an email when I get a reply? Haven’t found it yet.
Thanks for both.

I can add where WD can grab the jason data as above method to WD mac version
or via a http url…i.e if I set it up so that you set the url…either as above format or you own…and then set it up where you select the file that is downloaded etc
email me your json file that you do have
I have the serial port feeding the Weather-Display s/w and it is feeding WeatherUnderground an several others… still a few kinks to research and setup a web page…
Is there any way to make notifications automatic on posts I make? I couldn’t find it.
Thanks for your help.
