How can I use my Weaterstation (TFA-Nexus) with your program? Used by USB. Windows Vista. Thanks for your help, Ben

It's not a question of getting enough people to ask for it to be supported. It is impossible for me to do it without the spec of the protocol; I can't even consider doing it without that.dmac wrote:I have tried other software and they are worse. I am hoping Cumulus will take on this weatherstation. Can I help? In a non-programming role?
If there are any Nexus/Irox/Honeywell lurkers out there then logon as we need a critical mass.
I think he bought a station and reverse-engineered the protocol. Or perhaps he did obtain the protocol from the manufacturer as well as buying a station.dmac wrote:I see and probably the NZ authour of WD paid IROX et all for the sole rights for access the the API/protocol.

I've seen MrBalky's code but as I'm a pure windows developer here it don't help me much more than fukz site.
From reading the code I could get the information I posted in the previous post, but Linux way of reading from a HID device is nothing like Windows.
What I need is something to test it out and confirm how it works.
Preferably a simple monitoring program to monitor/read data of a HID device with the option to send data back to it.
Otherwise a Delphi/C++ program that shows how to read and write data to a HID device would be nice but I found neither. The samples I found was to complicated and I didn't have enough time needed to go through all that code just to make a simple monitoring program and there was no response on this channel either.
Currently I'm working abroad so I don't have access to my weather station until I'm back in April.
