share a connection questions.

Post by Tazz 316 »

I see that Meteobridge can share a connection since version 2.5.I'm using a davis USB data logger with a VP2.

Would this work with software like VirtualVP? If so would it then be able to feed multiple weather software like weather display, cumulus etc

Thanks for the info!

VirtualIP does not work with current Davis protocol versions. Meteobridge can hand-over connection to the Davis logger to one requesting PC or alike. But I do not recommend to do so. Go PC or Meteobridge, not both.

Why don't you suggest doing both? It would be nice to use Meteobridge and feed cumulus with it. Best of both worlds. :D

When doing so, Cumulus controls which data packets to request from the Davis console. This is not optimal for Meteobridge operation. But may be Cumulus requests data in a way that makes Meteobridge happy as well. You might ask other users here. I don't use Cumulus.
