yes, i connected the rfxcom to the rfreceiver program and tried all the options that worked ok during the last weeks. but at the moment not a single sensor reading over hours. i tried the hint from bert, to use a 17cm wire to simulate an antenna, again no effect. i ll give it a last try tomorrow. be...

hi, I just unplugged my rfxcom unit from the server and connected it to my desktop. i wondered why no signals were coming through. checked with rfreceiver. no sensor data coming in (I have about 10 sensors sending all time). looking at the led of the rfxcom, i can see a short green flash when connec...

Extend antenna cable

rg58 is the ham's swiss army knife but it is not really 1st choice in the 70cm band. look a the attenuation on a 100m cable below. MHz AIRCELL7 ECOFLEX 10 AIRCOM PLUS ECOFLEX 15 RG 58 RG 213 432 14,1 dB 8,9 dB 8,2 dB 6,1 dB 33,2 dB 15,8 dB so rg58 is really poor performing. You can also increase sig...

linux sw for reading & displaying oregon sensors

I have a two new sensors connected to my rig. 1. THN132N This sensor sends data like the THWR288 with two differences: - packet length is 44 hex (sample 44ea4c203f8824808414) - bit #3 of byte #6 indicated negative temperature sign (I assume this is the same with the THWR 288) 2. THGN122N This sensor...

trouble in reading out oregon uv138 sensor *SOLVED

@bwired: the uv138 got some serious rain during the last two days. it is still working... we 'll see ;-) when doing my first tests with the rfreceiver i got a temperature signal that looks like from outside (based on the value) but was not part of my wmr928 rig. looking around the house i found a se...

linux sw for reading & displaying oregon sensors

during the last weeks i adapted my linux sw (written in plain c) that reads weather data from the oregon wmr928 to directly read sensor data via the rfxcom receiver. The advantage of this approach is, that you can now use as many sensors as you like (actually, i limited it to 10 of each type) and yo...

trouble in reading out oregon uv138 sensor *SOLVED

inpecting the rfreceiver source code did help. uv138 is checksummed by the following code: Function checksumw() As Byte Dim cs As Byte cs = (recbuf(0) >> 4 And &HF) + (recbuf(0) And &HF) cs += (recbuf(1) >> 4 And &HF) + (recbuf(1) And &HF) cs += (recbuf(2) >> 4 And &HF) + (recbuf...

I receive data, but it doesn't make sense - SOLVED

Many thanks to Bert who gave me the hint to install .net framework 3.0 on my windows machine. Having that I could start RFreceiver and after switching to "variable length mode" I can see all the weather data coming in. GREAT! My problems with linux look like the ftdi module included into m...

I receive data, but it doesn't make sense - SOLVED

Hi, I am brand new to the rfxcom and do have a problem in getting it to read out my oregon weather sensors. 1. I am working on linux (old 2.4.20 kernel) 2. the rfxcom device seems to be properly addressed at /dev/ttyUSB0 3. I set the transfer protocol to 4800 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit. Here are th...
