WCMDiagnose


If you want to use the Weishaupt configuration software for Windows WCMDiagnose you have to use the original eBus-To-Serial adaptor from Weishaupt called W-EA.

Normally you have to connect the W-EA adaptor directly to you Windows PC to watch the ebus-messages or get and set some parameters.

I have managed to connect the W-EA with a Serial-to-USB adaptor to a Raspberry 3 and offer access to the com-port by running the ser2net server.

ser2net

On the Raspberry you have to install ser2net und edit /etc/ser2net.conf like this

VSP - Virtual Serial Port on Windows

On the client side - the Windows PC running WCMDiagnose - you need a virtual serial port (VSP) connected to the ser2net server.
I tried all the virtual serial port drivers available out there in the internet...
...but I managed to get a stable connection only with this one: HW Virtual Serial Port

On this site you can download two versions of the driver: the singleport and the multiport.
I don't know why but I only managed to get a stable connection with the singleport driver!

And I don't want the driver to start as a Windows-service so I installed it as "standalone".

My Settings for the HW Virtual Serial Port are like this
