This happens each time I click on online records... <br /><br />I've searched a bit on the internet and it seems the issue is due to an outdated driver. So, as I am using aVM, I bought a 2$ win7 key, installed and registered it, installed the driver again, annnnddddd, I keep getting this error. <br /><br />It displays the first volume meter record, adds it to the log (visible in the app) but then I'm getting the error message and it stops working. <br /><br />Anyone has a clue how to get rid of this ? In current state, the device is useless. <br /><br />I can swap to a debian VM, and run it from there if someone can give me instructions on how to get this running and finish with an export of the DATE/TIME -> Volume levels.<br /><br />Thanks !!!! meaninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479210459982117501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466508970473354894.post-65595883523338960972022-08-02T10:26:09.525+02:002022-08-02T10:26:09.525+02:00Hi there,
I did buy the same unit from Aliexpress...Hi there,<br /><br />I did buy the same unit from Aliexpress, and started struggling as soon I got it out of the box ;)<br /><br />I've bought the SD card model, but for some reason, after deleting the cws file from the card, and starting the device again, no new file will ever be written to the card ! I've asked the seller what I should do, but I knew I'd be alone with this device anyway, I've never got an answer...<br /><br />The reason why I am using this device is that I want to couple it with another app running on raspbian, called Telraam. <br /><br />Telraam enables you to monitor outside traffic, and speed of the traffic. <br /><br />creating nice charts like here : https://telraam.net/fr/location/9000003744<br /><br />As the traffic generates a lot of noise, I would like to get another chart in there, that would report the number of times a vehicle generates a noise level that is above the regulated limit. <br /><br />For now, I did install a win11 VM, running on my unraid server, and got the device to get detected using zadig. But every time an event is detected I'm getting an error message in the app provided with the device. <br /><br />I'd rather run a very lightweight debian VM, install the right app and dependencies, and get a log of all the noise activity. <br /><br />Ideally, I'd like to only log events that are above xx DB, in such a format:<br /><br />Date/time -> XX DB<br /><br />That's about it. <br /><br />If you got this device to run using linux, and know how to help me getting this achieved, would you be super nice and share the steps with me ? <br />Thanks !!! <br /><br />meaninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479210459982117501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466508970473354894.post-72358461444273655042022-07-14T17:04:07.794+02:002022-07-14T17:04:07.794+02:00Hi, i found a working version of the software here...Hi, i found a working version of the software here: https://www.wensn.com/?download/73.html (download did not work with chrome - but firefox worked!).

Any other Decibel Meter with a USB logging option (that I can find) would cost more than $250. Many of the links above are dead but since I run Linux Mint (vs that other operating system) and there is a GITHUB Python project, I decided to take a chance. Amazon currently has it with a 15% discount available on checkout (and next day delivery :-)<br /><br />I suspect the model with the card slot is vaporware ... however it is still advertised on Amazon for an addition $30 and 1 to 2 month lead time.
