Today we set up the Vantage Pro2 weather station again. We are very close to getting this working completely, but the wind data isn't showing up on our computer software. The wind data also isn't showing up on the main console so we think there is a problem with the connection. We tried unscrewing the wind cups and turning everything off but everything suggested in the manual didn't work. We have this installed on a Windows 8 computer which we thought was our problem, but all of the information seems to be transferring so the wind connection seems to be the problem now.
The rest of the day we tried to get the RFM transceiver working by running the code. Dr. Cummings tried to help us debug the code but the same line of code that we had problems with yesterday is still giving up problems. He said he was going to do some research and try to help us again tomorrow.
We also soldered on an antenna to the RFM12B. It is 7.8cm long because the following link shows that this is the correct size for our 915 MHz transceiver: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/buildingblocks/rfm12b-wireless
We used a multimeter to test each wire and resistor in the circuit to make sure there were no problems with the connections. We had no problems with any of the connections. Tomorrow we hope to figure out what is wrong with the code.
