[weewx-user] weewx stopped working

2021-11-19 Thread Jim W.
 

I recently moved and my had a bit of difficulty with my new ISP Provider. 
(is that redundant?) Anyway after updating my operating system weewx 
stopped working. I'm hoping someone can have a quick look at my log and see 
what's going on.


I'm running weewx (version 3.9.2) on a RPi B+ using a Davis Vantage VUE

[weewx-user] Data transfer from weewx

2019-11-23 Thread Jim W.


I am trying to get some weather data out of weewx. In the past I have used 
this scheme:


Created a new template called temp.txt.tmpl in the etc/weewx/skins/Standard 
directory. It's only content is: $current.outTemp


In the skin.conf file under [CheetahGenerator] tucked in under [[ToDate]]  I 
added:


   [[[temp.txt]]]

# Report that makes current outTemp available to other program

encoding = strict_ascii

template = temp.txt.tmpl


>From that I expected to see the data in /var/www/html/weewx/temp.txt 


In the past this has worked... but not now?


I recently replaced my weather station with a Vantage and fresh install of 
Buster, weewx on a Rbpi3+ It all work well right out of the box! Except for 
the above mentioned issue. 


Thanks for any insight!!!

[weewx-user] Re: WH1080 replacement?

2019-08-18 Thread Jim W.
I'm kind of in the same boat... My  WH1080 which worked great for about 5 
years finally died.  I'm looking for something to use as a direct 
replacement. I'm NOT A PROGRAMER and only got weeWx/Rpi3 to communicate 
with the console  through the gracious and patient help of a weewx group 
contributor (THANKS Vince!). The thought of trying to get a sniffer working 
is just to much to ask of anyone! Does anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks... I was thinking maybe driver issue... but looks like cable issue.

Weewx seems to have stopped working? Is this a problem with the USB 
connection to the weather station console?
Thanks for any insight!
I'm not a programmer... Mostly just a hack!

[weewx-user] weewx error

2016-12-01 Thread Jim W.
I'm running weewx (V 3.5.0) on a Rpi3b. For months it's been running fine. 
The other day I had a data spike and attempted to read the weewx.sdb file 
as per the weewx guide instructions. ( Spikes in the graph) A few hours 
later I noticed It was not working...
from looking at the system log I'm wondering if I somehow messed up the sdb

[weewx-user] Re: degree symbol not showing?

2016-11-24 Thread Jim W.
Actually I think there was a small hiccup in my weather station... looking 
back in the history posted on WU... around 8am the temp rain rate both 
spiked! I have never seen that before... I wonder how one could correct 
that?

[weewx-user] Re: degree symbol not showing?

2016-11-24 Thread Jim W.
Gary,
Thanks for the response! When I installed weewx (DEB package) I never set 
up an archive. Maybe that's the problem? 
As you may surmise... I'm mostly just a hack... no programing experience! 
But I'm learning... albeit SLOWLY. 
I guess I'll look into setting up an archive.
Thanks again for your suggestion!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Robin
Yeah... I'm kind of doing the same thing... My attempt!

Now if I could figure out why   $span($day_delta=1).rain.sumproduces

modified the Standard skin.conf file with:


[[[temp.txt]]]
# Report that makes current outTemp available to other program
encoding = strict_ascii
template = temp.txt.tmpl

$current.outTemp.format("%.1f")
$trend.outTemp

Gary, Thanks! and yes I did read the entire weewx/docs guide... however it 
was very early into trying to implement weewx and before I had much 
understanding of how weewx worked. I should (and will) re-read the 
documentation now that I have a little better understanding of how things 
work.

If I add  $ordnates.windDir to the .tmpl file should I get a Cardinal or

As I understand it, $current.outTemp represents a string variable the value 
of which should be the outside temperature.  When I try to view the value 
(echo $current.outTemp )  I dose't work. I've tried a few other schemes as 
well, like making a shell script that does this: 
#!/bin/bash
current_outTemp=$current.outTemp
echo $current_outTemp


Can you give me an idea of how to accomplish this?

[[[day]]]
template = index.html.tmpl


[[[temp.txt]]]

[[[week]]]
template = week.html.tmpl

[[[month]]]

Does the temp.txt.tmpl file require special formatting? Right now this is 
what it contains: 
$current.outTemp

Tom and Andrew,
I have created a new template called temp.txt.tmpl in the 
etc/weewx/skins/Standard directory. It's only content is: $current.outTemp

In the skin.conf file under [CheetahGenerator] I added:

   [[temp.txt]]
# Report that makes current outTemp available to other program
encoding = strict_ascii
template = temp.txt.tmpl

Am I on the right track? Thanks for your patience!

2016-10-30 Thread Jim W.
Ok... Maybe if I ask the question in a more clear form... Can someone 
explain how I can pass the current outdoor temp to a variable so I can us 
it in another program?

[weewx-user] Noob question... where to find the actual data (temp) within weewx?

2016-10-29 Thread Jim W.
I have very little Linux (or other programming) experience...  Decades ago 
I did a little Visual Basic programming but that is a dim memory. I have 
managed (with the generous help of this forum) to setup and run weewx on a 
Rpi3b. WS2080 WU and Motion sending images to WU.

My next project is to add overlays of temperature and wind speed and 
direction to the images I'm sending to WU. Most of it I have figured out 
but what I don't know is where to find the actual data (temp) within weewx?

Thanks!

[weewx-user] WU loses station icon?

2016-09-08 Thread Jim W.
About once a day weather underground loses my icon? The blue shaded circle 
remains but the icon with temperature in the circle goes missing. The 
actual rapid fire update *stays current* but somehow the position 
disappears? After an hour or so EVERYTHING disappears (because is not 
getting position information?!?) A few hours later all is back. WTH?  
Thanks for any insight...

Yep! That's it. THANKS! I installed it using the DEB package. Later I was 
warned away from it but I had already got it running so I never

Does the config file get read once during start up or is it poled
