WeatherRanger USB not working

[Muzza]

Hi All

I have a weather ranger and the usb does not work . When pluging into laptop ( win10) I get the ding dong of connection .

In device manager I get a device under ----mobile Device----Microsoft USB Sync

This is all I get ,Cumulas and Easyweather do not see the device.

Any help would be appreciated or do I send it back ?

Thanks

HI

Aercus weather ranger  I think it is a WS3083

On the side of the unit is a USB port witch connects to the pc.

Where i live i dont have internet ( only by hot spotting to a phone ) and i want to access the unit to display on pc

Thanks

I think its the same as this one fine offset and I think the usb is just for factory update  and doesn't work but there is some software called weather link ip that may help.

Your best bet is to contact aercus and ask them.

there is also the the maplin version called n23dq their website has lots of questions that may help.

That station does not work with Cumulus/Weather Display/Weather Link. It does work with Easyweather, though. There was a hack for it (designed by a friend) that allowed data to be sent to both Wunderground, and your own web host (assuming you have one) and then data could be displayed via a template that he made for it.

He also made a template for the station itself, which I used to use: http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=27528.0

I have no idea if any of the links work, i'm not even sure if he carried on with it, either.
