My New Weather Station

Hi Guys

I achieved my long time goal of setting up my own weather station last week. I'm using the Davis Vantage Vue which is excellent. You can check out my website at www.waterfordcityweather.com. The only website for Waterford City on the Irish Weather Network.

If you press the Hi/Lo button on the console it will give you daily,monthly and yearly highs and lows, also if you have Davis Weatherlink software there will be a lot more detail there. Thats only if you have it connected to your pc with the data logger that is. The Vue is a super station so good choice on that, best of luck with it.

Never had that message before luckily. Seems like others have had problems with the ISS giving a low battery transmitter error, see here http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=6535.0.
Personally i dont think its the battery as its only used to run the ISS as a back up in the night time. The solar panel powers a super capacitor which runs the ISS during daylight hours. If you check the link, there are plenty of suggestions how people have tried to fix this. Do a reset for starters then give that thread a good read. One way or another it will help. Hope you get it sorted
