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

[Andrew Milner]

See 'spikes in the graphs' section in the user guide:

http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Software_problems

for how to remove spikes from the weewx database. 

AFIK there is no way to remove or change the spikes from WU.

No need for that Jim, weewx automatically creates the archive (table in the 
weewx database) when weewx is first run. If you did a deb install it should 
be in the /var/lib/weewx directory. The where to find things section 
 in the User's 
Guide  is a handy reference.

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?

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!

wee_reports
Description: Binary data

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

[gjr80]

Hi,

Have you looked in your archive to see what data is in the rain field? 
Assuming you are using SQLite something like:

$ sqlite3 /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb

will open your database so you can query it. There are any number of 
queries you could use to investigate the situation, but lets' start by 
summing the rain over the last 24 hours:

sqlite> SELECT sum(rain) FROM archive WHERE dateTime > strftime('%s','now')-
86400;

what does that show? If it shows nothing then we do have aproblem. If it 
gives you the obviously wrong result you can look further at the individual 
records to see which are wrong:

sqlite> SELECT dateTime, rain FROM archive WHERE dateTime > strftime('%s',
'now')-86400 AND rain > 0;

depending on what you find will determine how to fix it.

[weewx-user] Dekay's DavisRFM69 lib without RTC

[gustl319]

Hi there,

I have a Vantage Vue. On an Adafruit Feather I run Dekay's lib wich 
receives the Vantage packets and seams to work fine. Weewx runs on a Raspi 
with USB to feather. Weewx works well with Simulator. With Vantage I get 
'less than final timestamp' messages and no records are stored. I assume 
this is because Feather has no RTC and I faked the RTC with a constant 
time. 
Is it possible to configure weewx to use local timestamps with Vantage data 
or to ignore the difference in time? 

Another question: I see bursts of 'Requesting 200 LOOP packets' in debug 
mode after starting. Is this normal behavior?

 Thanks and greetings from Bavaria

[weewx-user] wee_reports only generating reports for most recent records in database

[David Watts]

Hi,

If I run wee_reports (example below), the report that is generated uses the 
most recent records in the database.

For example I ran wee_reports (see below) at 19:32 and asked it to do a 
report for 19:00 but it used the 19:30 data.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

dan'l,

in cheetah syntax, the # indicates a directive, and ## indicates a 
comment.  so

#set $x = 1

will set the value of variable $x to 1.  and this would comment that line:

##set $x = 1

the line:

#set $show_wind = int($getVar('Extras.forecast_table_settings.show_wind', 
1))

is a bit of cheetah/python magic.  it says that the variable $show_wind 
should be set to whatever $Extras.forecast_table_settings.show_wind is set 
to, but if that variable does not exist, use the value 1.  the variable 
$Extras.forecast_table_settings.show_wind is set like this in skin.conf:

[Extras]
[[forecast_table_settings]]
show_wind = 1

or like this in weewx.conf:

[StdReport]
[[forecast]]
[[[Extras]]]
forecast_table_settings
show_wind = 1

hope that helps!

OK, all running in default mode. Now, in the skin.conf file, I am having 
trouble understanding how to enable the various options. For example, if I 
want to show_wind on the forecast page,

## Which columns should be displayed?

.

#set $show_wind = int($getVar('Extras.forecast_table_settings.show_wind', 
> 1))

 
I uncomment that line, but then do I also uncomment the IF loops (#if 
$varExists('forecast')) as well as the IF condition:

#if $show_wind

 src='icons/flag.png' class='legend-img' alt='W' title='wind' /> class='units'>$unit.label.wind

#end if


or have I misunderstood this process?

I do understand the advantage of using weewx.conf so as not to lose changes 
in upgrades, as well as the re-start/no re-start issue.

[weewx-user] Re: how to implement forecast table on standard skin or sofaskin?

[mwall]

hi marc,

this is how to insert the forecast table into the standard report:

1) copy the icons and table template to the standard skin

cp -r skins/forecast/icons skins/Standard
cp skins/forecast/forecast_table.inc skins/Standard

2) modify skin.conf for the standard report.  add the following to the 
sections already in skin.conf (the ... indicates existing parameters):

[Extras]
...
[[forecast_table_settings]]
forecast_source = WU
num_periods = 84

[CheetahGenerator]
search_list_extensions = user.forecast.ForecastVariables
...

[CopyGenerator]
copy_once = ..., icons/*.png

3) include the table in one of the template files.  for example, put this 
in skins/Standard/index.html.tmpl:

#include "forecast_table.inc"

that should do it!

if things do not work as you expect, take a look at the log.

OK - I realize now that I have not set up mail service on the rpi correctly.
Thanks for your support ...

[weewx-user] Re: how to implement forecast table on standard skin or sofaskin?

[Marc Aubry]

I'm getting more and more confused with this skin architecture.
I have just change the directory of the report as described in the minimize 
write of SD card h
ttps://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Minimize%20writes%20on%20SD%20cards 

to save some SD access on the little pi.
everything run nice and smooth for the remote syslog and for the temporary 
file system mount in /var/weewx/reports/
but now when i open the index page of the report i have the forcast table 
of the forecast skin instead on the usual index file (same thing with 
Standard skin or sofaskin skin)
before i change the directory of the report i had the normal index file 
display.
I probably mess up something in the weewx.conf and the skin.conf but i 
can't figure out what?
