Hi
Just bought a new TFA/Nexus weatherstation - because i though WD was 100% working with the Nexus/Irox station?
It works only works briefly, when WD is started. It gets 9-10 data’s, and then i stops! If I close WD and start again, it only get 2 data’s - temp. is okay, but no data for the wind.
Could it be some kind of USB issue?
What could I try to solve the problem?
Everything works great on the PC version, but I’m a Mac guy 8)
I’m very sad now, after I have spend a lot of money… 
Forgot to read the readme file…!
I’ve installed the usbdebug, but it did not help… :-k
The FTP upload function, is also not working, but works on windows, with the same ftp settings…?
the FTP does work on the Mac version
but you would need to have live data coming in OK
what shows under view, program error log
and also under view, ftp log, then close that window…you should then see the irox raw data window
Hi
I’m sad to hear about the ftp funktion not working
Then I’ll have to use an external ftp program - do you have a suggenstion?
The programerrorlog.txt
Acces violation

I’ve located the files at user\liberary\application support\wdisplay
I WD I can shortly see the Irox data comes and goes away 8-9 times, and then it stops!

The program error log in WD is emty?
That’s it
Hope you can help me… I would be very very sad to install windoze on my Mac Mini…
Thanks
the FTP on the Mac does in fact work
I use it myself
it looks like you do not have it setup correctly
have you entered a ftp server to use in the connections setup?
the access violation in the program error log is the cause of the data stopping
have you copied the settings files from the windows version?
I would try instead setting up the mac version with fresh settings
Hi
Sorry I misunderstood you about the ftp…
I use exactly the same settings, as I do on the windows version - both ftp and weatherstation settings…
I would try to make a clean install of WD again, and start all over…
I have another question about the Mac version - can it read the datalogs from the Irox stations?
Hi
So now I have made a clean install, and unplugged other USB devices, but I didn’t make any difference
WD reads about 9 data, and then stops! I have to replug the weather station, and restart WD to get new data - but only 9-10 data.
I’ve also tried installing WD on my Macbook, and it’s the same shit… :scratch:
Right now I’m running Wmware Fusion with XP, but it’s not a very good solution…
What can I do?
As a test, shutdown WD, then rename the WDISPLAY.INI file, then re-start WD. It should start up brand new. Once WD starts up you will need to tell it your station type. Do not enter any other settings. You need to get WD working with your station first.
There are so many pieces to the puzzle that it becomes impossible to trouble shoot. Using this method we can rule out ftp and whatever else you setup as the culprit so we can narrow in on the problem.
Hi
I’ve allready tried this, as I made a clean install, and started all over, and the only settings made was weather station type…
Did you run the permissions script? Look in your /Applications/wdisplay directory
WD Mac Set Owner Permissions TIGER LEOPARD V2 WD Mac Set Owner Permissions - SNOW LEOPARD V2
Shut down WD completely. I recommend doing a re-start of OSX, then run the applicable permissions script. Then try running WD again.
I will run a test here and see what happens, with my Irox station and mac mini
standby
I did do that yes…
Sounds great…
Thank you
what shows when you run ./usbreaderirox
from a terminal window?
(first change to the correct location (cd /…/ then cd /Applications/wdisplay/
(first kill off that process (./killall usbreaderirox )
I have a problem with the read, it returns some errors
I did not used to that (but the program has not changed for a long time)
so cant test just at the moment
support of HID devices is problematic on the Mac without using more low level IO routines (IO rootkit) or using the newer hid routines from snow leopard (which I dont have…I guess I should upgrade to that)
a non HID station works good on WD for the Mac though (e.g a WMR968 or Davis VP)
Hi
I will try the usbiroxireader, when I’m home from work…
I really hopy we can solve this problem - I bought the Irox station, because I thought it whas fully supportet :?
Until that, my Mac Mini is sweating emulation XP in the background… :sign1:
Hi
I’ve tried the terminal thing…
Here is what came out…:

Hope this give some tracks for you, to solve the problem…
Hi
I changed the code to use the libusbdll.dylib instead of the libcom.dylib
and now its working OK for me (i dont get those could not release interface: -6
error closing interface: -6
could not release interface: -6
error closing interface: -6
errors anymore)
and hopefully will for you to
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/usbreaderirox.zip
i.e unzip to
/Applications/wdisplay/
and then try running it again (kill off the process first and also try running the setup program and enter your password, to get the ketch files loaded, and then remove and then re plug in the usb plug, to reset the usb /hid port (that worked for me))
Hi
I’m so excited to try the new files out - when I’m home from work 
One question:
Setup program? Is it the setup.app witch start a terminal window?
What does “ketch” means?
Thanks a lot for your great work!
Hi
you may not have to run the setup program, you might just have to remove and then re plug in the usb connection before running the update
I notice for me the data is out of sync at times, so I will have to work on checking /re aligning the data
I will work on that tomorrow (end of the day here for me now)
