Otherwise you can't connect it to your computer. Preferably the Serial Data Logger.<br /><br />2) Make sure you have a means of mounting the ISS. IDK about the Vue, but my VP2 didn't come with a mounting pole. I had to run to Home Depot to get some industrial strength Zip Ties and a pole to mount the ISS on in the yard. A tripod or fence post will also work. AmbientWx has some excellent mounts as well.<br /><br />3) You can upload to WU with the WeatherLink but for Rapid Fire updates you may need to purchase Virtual Weather Station ($100) or WeatherDisplay. The Rapid Fire updates didn't work on both of my computers with WeatherLink. The WUHU software may work for you but I couldn't get it to work with my VP2.Claynoreply@blogger.com
