Vantage Pro 2 driver

I have a Davis weather station, with the Vantage Pro2 console. I am using the "stock" vantage indi driver (indi_vantage_weather), however, the driver is only outputting 4 of the 8 possible parameters - it's not reporting wind direction, rain, or humidity (or solar radiation but I don't think my station has that option). If it's any clue, it returns the first 4 parameters (forecast, temp, barometer, and wind speed) and the last 4 are all zeros.

I should've said - INDI is running on a Mac Pro, using the INDI server version that comes with KStars, as well as a self-compiled "latest and greatest" v.1.7.2. I have used both the USB and serial weatherlinks to connect the console to the computer, although because it's a Mac Pro with no serial port, I am using a FTDI chip serial/USB cable. I've also read out the parameters from the INDI server using python, which is returning the same parameter info, so it's not the client.

Interesting that while it is reporting a value for wind direction and solar radiation, Ekos (and PyINDI) are reporting zeros. Plus, mostly I really need humidity to monitor dew point, and that's also zero, and "not* showing up in the log. And one more little data point, in the Ekos Main Control tab, for "Status", only temperature, wind, and rain are shown with their status lights. For what that's worth...

Thank you!

I'm starting using this driver and identified the problem.
I opened a ticket on this bug: github.com/indilib/indi/issues/743
I'll create new branch to pull request on this.
