OREGON WMR 100

Steve:

Do you think in the near future to include The WMR 100 of Oregon Scientific?

[steve]

It's possible. Oregon Scientific ignored me when I asked for the protocol, but some details are available on the net that various people have worked out for themselves. I don't think the details are complete, though.

I think I am more likely to add stations where the manufacturers are helpful and provide the protocol.

It´s ok Steve i know that, but the Oregon Scientific help to you with the other Stations , like 928?

[steve]

No. I found the information for the WM918 and WMR928 on the web, others had worked it out for themselves because Oregon Scientific would not release the protocol details. Of all the stations that Cumulus supports, only Davis provide the protocol to anyone who wants it.

We could start a campaign! Everyone email Oregon Scientific and ask for the full WMR100 and 200 protocol spec

Hi

I would like to offer my MWR200 as a test bed for any beta version you develop. I have emailed Oregon asking about there policy regarding the release of their protocol to 3rd party developers, i will post the reply if i receive one.

Well, I think this might help

Seen that before, and the pages it links to. Appears to be incomplete.

... although, having said that, I'll probably be tempted to have a go at some point

Hi,

I have recently purchased a WMR-200 and came across this software. I too am very impressed with the look and feel as it's seems far superior to any other software on the market. Obviously I can't connect to my station through it but was trying to think of alternative ways of doing so. Has anyone thought of or tried to connect via a serial connection using a USB to serial convertor? I know that the software is expecting a serial connection as for a WMR-928 but what I don't know is whether the USB to serial convertor would present the information correctly through the convertor.

Any ideas??

If you are looking for somone to trial a beta version, you can count me in as well!

Cheers

The 100 and 200 don't use the same protocol as the 928 etc, so there's no way to get them to work with the current version of Cumulus. I do hope to have support for the 100 and 200 in Cumulus 2; I'll let you know when I have something to test.

Well this sounds promising, I'll keep coming back to watch out for V2.
