As mentioned in a previous post, at the request of Davis Instruments, I attempted to update the firmware on my weather station receiver. It did not go well. I have not been able to get computer access to the station’s data since February. Technical support ultimately said to call and arrange repair, but I was able to find a third party that manufactures a replacement part and that arrived yesterday afternoon.
It took a couple of tries to get it connected but it finally did. Immediately, the support software saw the receiver and started updating all the data consumers. That includes Weather Underground. The support software also handles uploading numerous files to the observatory webpage which means pages such as the “Most Recent Image” are now updating.
The only remaining problem is the weather receiver, located in the dome room, no longer accurately reports the interior temperature. I can live with that.
