Project WL-HDD and Weather Station (WS2300)

It should. Depending on your hardware for communication. Safe way is RS232 hardware mod.

Thanks for replying.

What is a RS232 hardware mod. ?

[oleo]

RS232 level converter using MAX3232 or similar chip that connects to internal header where RS232 serial signals are available along with power for level converter.

Thanks for your info.

Can somebody compile the program? (like described in the install-file)

Oleo, can you make an ipkg package?

[britnet]

Does anybody know, how to add a programm to ipkg??

Hello,

i've a prject to use my WL-HDD with my Weather Station LacrossTechnologi WS2300.
I need to know if that is possible with Oleg's firmware (or other) :
- use a USB-RS232 adapter
- use Perl for WS2300 linux script

Anyone can help me. Is my first experience with alternate firmware for WL-HDD.

Nebuka,
this usually means you haven't mounted you file-system. see http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=10307

Hello,

I run serial over tcp successfully with ser2net.

Look at this topic.
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=4535

On my pc I have a virtual comport software.

look here:
http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html

This works for my Solar inverter readings.

But now I want to put this readings in a RRD graph, but I don't know how I can create a script to write commands and read the serial output. Some examples run on perl, but use a module which is not included in the microperl package installed on my asus. Any idea?

Does it work your system of Linux-Programm "ser2net" an the Windows-Programm for the "virtual-RS232"? Or is a hope?

Thanks.

Thanks Jeroen van Omme, i've install corectly the oleg firmware with your link.
I've install the open2300 and correctly configure the USB to Serial adapter.

But fetch2300 dosen't work fine, i've some line :
pl2303.c: pl2303_read_int_callback - usb_submit_urb failed with result -22

with dmesg.

I've found on this site (NSLU2)
the same probleme.

But when I want to install the new driver i can't replace the original pl2303.o file by the new pl2303.o file. On WL-HDD the file pl2303.o is in read-only.

How can replace the pl2303.o file ?

Hello,

Thanks
