Hi,
Yes it’s me again!
This has been a problem since I first stared using Weather Display. I had never reported it as a bug because it doesn’t really bother me, but perhaps I should just tell you that this problem does seem to exist on my setup.
I have the WMR928N connected to COM1, there are no other peripherals connected to any com ports, the keyboard is PS2 and the mouse is USB. There is no printer attached.
When I start up Weather Display, whether it is straight after a reboot or machine startup, or if I just shut down WD to do an upgrade the problem is the same. No data seems to be picked up from the weather station console. If I go to Setup/Control Panel/Comm port setup and just click OK (i.e. didn’t change anything) by the time that I return to the WD main screen it has detected it’s first packet from the weather station.
Thanks
Craig
