I'm regulary using my custom WS8610 software since one year, and it
works very well.
It runs on win7 x64, on a pc with real serial port.
Features include: dump memory, show arbitrary portions of memory, write
memory, a windows service which downloads records and save them in
sqlite format every x hours, plot of temperature and humidity data,
detection of daylight saving time, and more...

If ayone interested I can give source code in C#.

Fyi, on this general topic of running WS8610 software under 64bit
Windows--
to my surprise I've found that on a PC equipped with a legacy RS232
hardware Uart, I've been able to read/"export" the WS8610's 2000+
record
internal data cache using the old/original LaCrosse "Data Recorder"
running under MS Windows HomeServer 2011 (a 64bit, abbreviated "home"
OS
variant of MS Win Server 2008 R2.) I haven't attempted installation
under
64bit Win7, but that may also be possible. In addition to the
presence of
a legacy RS232 Uart (in my experience ESSENTIAL for DataRecorder
operation), I've used XP compatibility mode at both DR install and run
time.
NO disrespect to Open8610, a VERY important/useful open-source
reverse-engineered public service by volunteers-- sadly, with no help
from
LaCrosse Inc, even to document their bit-banging nonstandard interface
protocol-- but my particular WS8610 application/need requires use of
the
WS8610's internal 2000+ record data cache. (I.e., as opposed to
requiring
that the device be continuously cabled-up to a PC, so as to read
current
temp/humidity values with Open8610's "Log" utility.) Unhappily, but
understandably given the obfuscated comm challenge, I've never seen
Open8610's "History" utility successfully retrieve more than a few
hundred
records (even thru legacy RS232 Uart hardware.)

Thanks for that, although I dont have a compiler installed
currently...
Any chance of sharing the compiled version? Will be much apreciated
:)

Yes, check open8610win2.1.zip and WS8610-CS.zip in the files
section.
I'm using it on Windows 7 x64 and it works very well.

Anyone managed to get this to work? Any hints or tips?
is it possible?
