| Returned from a week off. Went to visit the kids @ Schools and snuck up to yellowStone for a couple of days, Great to get away |
|
| from the heat for a while. A couple more weeks and we should begin to back off to below 100. Today, I got the XM weather |
|
| receiver working. Built the harness and connected it to the Headsup receiver. Actually I used the SL40 com harness from the OP |
|
| Tech displays and ternimated it to the Heads up box. I was short an RS232 port so I gave up the COM2 in favor of the weather. |
|
| Initially I thought it wasn't working but after a couple e-mails w/ Mark @ Op Tech to clarify, I found it was in fact working, I |
|
| connected the antenna I purchased, and VIOLA! I got NEXRAD images displayed. I was a bit surprosed because I hadn't |
|
| activated my XM account. The Headsup manual says something about thre being a default account avail for initial testing |
|
| perhaps that's waht was going on. I wasn't able to display all of the weather products, and have a message into Mark for some |
|
| more clarification. Unfortunately my batteries went below 10v and the systems dropped 'offline' I'll recharge them overnight and |
|
| set up an 'official account tomorrow'. fortunattely there is some weather activity in the area so I got some GOOD radar images |
