Using Steve Jobs maxim, 'It has to look cool.' I'll be glad to share info on this project as we dive into this. The software? Totally vapor-ware presently. The Sensus water meters are being installed by a general contractor. On the original conversation thread: I am using an XBee module from Digi (Rabbit) and the target collection device will be a tablet PC.

This doesn't happen too often, but when it does -who-boy! Land is quite reasonable to purchase on the Big Island (Hawaii) but very unreasonable on Oahu, Maui, and Kauai. This gives us a, what it's like to live in LA feel. Volcanic gasses sweep the Kona side of the island, now and then drifting over the ocean waters to the other islands. No tornadoes or poisionous snakes there, but there are possibilities of typhoons, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions!

The weather is fairly constant year round, with a little more rain in winter and spring. The best times to go are in spring and fall during the tourist off-seasons (unless you like crowds). My wife and I did that cruise last time out, which is a pretty efficient method to see parts of several of the islands. I know they discontinued that sevice when Norwegian started cruising between the islands with the Pride of America ship. That way we could hop on a plane and fly to any island at not extra cost. The first time I went with my wife, we bought a week passes on Aloha Air that had commuter flights each day between the islands. Hawaii is hard to see because it is split into about 5 volcanic islands. At the very least I should vacation there soon and partially write it off by applying for work.I have been 2 times now, for a couple of weeks each time. I'll take our damp and dismal Irish weather any day compared to what those folks are having to endure. Just a small ray of sunshine on an otherwise bleak canvas. She helped it out, and it stood beside her as she hugged and rubbed it down, overjoyed to see her companion had survived, and thanked God. Suddenly a crew member cried 'The dog!' and here was her pet behind her, trapped under some debris, but alive. She spoke emotionally, but showed great strength. The remains of her house were strewn behind her and no sign of her dog, feared perished. She had taken shelter, sitting on a stool in the bathroom with her dog as the tornado struck. I watched an elderly lady from Moore on SKY News the other morning being interviewed. If your device has a SENSUS ICE Register you have to use the ASCII Encoding method as per above. They don't want users tampering with the registers that they use to carry out meter readings. They don't make it easy for a good reason. What are you trying to pull data from exactly?ДЄ lot of people attempt to connect to their domestic water meters for usage monitoring, or 'other' reasons. This method is specific to this type of device and may even be specific to just this company. Once you have received the handshake, error free, you send 0x40 to 'march data out of' the device, or send 0x00 to cancel the request.

Note how Byte 4 refers to the battery status, as this is a portable device. These received bytes are specific to this device and not generic to all SENSUS Registers. It explains how you send 0x00 to alert the SENSUS device and then you receive an initial handshake stream of 12 Bytes. It data logs depth and temperature measurements while diving.

EDIT BY PHIL: Attached image copied from page 11 of SCADAmetrics user manual found here: I've attached a picture depicting the Sensus Protocol ASCII structure.ДЄSCII requires data to be sent 10 bits at a time, so that's why you see:Д§ DATA BITS, 1 START BIT, 1 STOP BIT, 1 PARITY BIT = 10 BITS(ASCII ENCODING) I think it's usually 5V in the order of 100's of Hz? Whatever you are using to read from the meter has to generate the clock pulses to power and receive the data. They are often sealed, so they don't want any old Joe trying to commmunicate with them. The protocol is widely used in other manufacturers devices as well and these meters are generally used by utility companies to read and bill customers. Since 2000 they've been using SENSUS Protocol, found inside SENSUS ICE Registers. That was actually introduced by Rockwell back in 1984. They don't use Electronic Communication Register(ECR) anymore. Interesting to note: SENSUS used to be owned by Rockwell International.
