AcuRite 02064M with Meteobridge via USB?

Anyone know if the AcuRite 02064M will work with Meteobridge via USB? We've been running Meteobridge with a Davis VantageVue for 2 years, but the sensor pack is failing and Davis wants $100 to rebuild. Davis has replaced parts several times, so I'm less than enthused about spending any more money ...

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

Can you tell me the duration of the GPIO toggle that leaves the USB without power? My manually unplugging and replugging the USB 2.0 Hub to Meteobridge cable is doing the same thing, though with a multi-second duration (and it fixes the problem). Is it possible that to fully reset the hub and the ...

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

And here's a log from this morning, where the Meteobridge was able to restart the USB on its own at 6:48 a.m.

logger (28.04.2014 06:40:31): connect station 0 (Vantage via USB serial).
logger (28.04.2014 06:40:32): station 0 (Vantage), wakeup sent.
logger (28.04.2014 06:40:33): station 0 (Vantage ...

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

After months of working well, my USB problems are returning with increasing frequency. The Meteobridge goes through an Amazon USB 2.0 hub to a PL-2303HX USB to 3.3 volt Serial cable connected to a Davis VantageVue console. The Meteobridge System page shows that it's been up and running for over 16 ...

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

I see your point. It wasn't an issue for me because I don't need to record the data locally. I'm happy to let Weather Underground keep it and I can download it as a CSV file if necessary. WU doesn't have all the data, such as indoor temp and humidity, but that wasn't my main purpose. I haven't ...

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

Thanks for the power suggestion, but I've been up and running without issue since Dec. 5th, a total of 24 days solid. On that date I did another round of re-soldering of bad-looking joints on the USB-serial board, and removed a stray piece of factory solder between chip leads. Also, I had previously ...

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

I looked at some of this last summer when I was buying parts in the US, which is why I got a USB 2.0 high-speed capable hub. I incorrectly thought the MR3020 incompatibility was with USB 1.1 low speed 1.5 Mbps, like the Davis Data Logger cable. I see the problem is also with USB 2.0 full speed 12 ...

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

Can you explain what function the hub serves if the cable is USB 2.0?
Thanks

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue -- solved?

Upon close examination of the USB/serial cable, I discovered that one of the mechanical supports for the USB connector was not soldered to the little circuit board, allowing the connector to flex. Further examination of the USB connector showed that one of the signal pins was never soldered. The ...

Re: USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

Additional info -- it failed again after about 10 hours. This time I disconnected and reconnected the USB/serial cable from the USB hub, so only the Prolific chip was reset by the power cycle. The datalink came back to life, so I think I've proven that the problem is in the cable, not in the hub.

USB Disconnect with Vantage Vue

Every few days I get a USB disconnect that Meteobridge cannot overcome despite many attempts recorded in the system log of resetting the USB port. Only disconnecting and reconnecting the USB 2.0 hub cable at the Meteobridge causes the connection to resume. Equipment summary:
Davis Vantage Vue ...
