How to setup the SL-814 Sound Level Meter

Post by Lorence »

Hi there,
Can you please provide details about how we setup the meteohub with my SL-814 so that I can see a live view from my sound meter on screen?

thanks,

Just plug it in, add a SL-814 weather station and watch sensors page to see the new sensor coming up.

You will need the SL-814 with the data cable. The cable has a serial-usb converter inside, which
transfers 3.3v serial signals available on the min USB jack of the SL-814 into proper USB signals.
Putting in a normal USB cable (which the mini USB jack might suggest) will not work, it needs the
special cable.

I made a USB cable that also generates the 9V supply for the SL-814 as runnning it on batteries
will not work, because then the unit shuts down after a couple of minutes to save battery power.

Anything more you need to know?
