 The problem is that the USB logger is limited to 516 bins, thus it can

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown skin 1.0 released!

[Pat]

Kike, I've added my draft of the generate option. You will need to upgrade 
to the 1.1 beta skin by downloading it from the Belchertown's GitHub 
development branch 
.

Once you have upgraded, for information on how it works, why it works like 
that and how to use it, refer to the wiki's generate option 

 
section.

Appreciate all the ideas. This has become much more work that I expected. I 
already have a website and was hoping to get weewx working to use parts of 
it.

mountainbase.com is my site just for fun.

Re: [weewx-user] Unable to Run Weewx

[Greg from Oz]

Hi,
I don't use windows but I heard there is a windows subsystem for Linux 
(WSL). 

I wonder if weewx would work in that or is it limited to what i can do?

I use Linux.

Re: [weewx-user] Unable to Run Weewx

[p q]

If you must run Windows, you might be able to use a virtual machine running
Linux. I use Oracle Virtualbox on my main Windows PC to run Weewx. I use it
as a test/dev platform for my main Weewx site on a Raspberry PI. Virtualbox
is a free download.

I would recommend you get a cheap linux box, like a Raspberry Pi ($35-$80)
to run Weewx. The lower spec, older, cheaper, ones do it just fine.

Re: [weewx-user] Unable to Run Weewx

[Thomas Keffer]

Two things.

1. Windows is not a supported platform. There is a branch
 in the GitHub repository that
has been ported to Windows, but it is not updated regularly, nor will its
changes be incorporated into the upcoming V4 release.

2. As Vince notes, your copy of weewx.conf has not been configured.
Normally, this is done by setup.py, although it can be done either by hand,
or by using the utility wee_config
. Neither is
supported under Windows.

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown skin 1.0 released!

[Pat]

Marten, any of the variables found within weewx will work. I don't maintain 
a list since this is not skin specific. You can check the source code of 
the Seasons skin, the Standard skin or see if the User's Guide can offer 
any insight. 

For the signal quality, I am using this code which was borrowed and 
modified from the Season skin :)

#if $day.txBatteryStatus.has_data

  
Transmitter Battery
  
#if $current.txBatteryStatus.raw == 0
OK
#else
LOW
#end if
  

#end if
#if $day.rxCheckPercent.has_data

Signal Quality
$current.rxCheckPercent

#end if

[weewx-user] Unable to Run Weewx

Let me start by saying that I am new to Python, so please bear with me. 
After installing python and weewx and following the process that was laid 
out here: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/weewx-on-windows , I 
attempted to Run Weewx. I received several errors and they are as follows:

PS C:\Users\weewx> python bin\weewxd weewx.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin\weewxd", line 64, in 
weewx.engine.main(options, args)

driver = config_dict[stationType]['driver']
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\configobj.py", line 554, in *getitem*

Has anyone encountered this before. Thanks in advance.

[Marten Hinrichs]

Hi,

Your Skin is Great and i currently Customized my Website.

I am edit my about.inc template file. Now i have a problem with the 
Variables for the Station. Is there a List of available Variables? Like

 $station.hardware
 $station.os_uptime
 $station.uptime
$station.version
$belchertown_version

I am interested in Signal Quality/Battery Status/ Like your Page.  Can 
anybody Help me? I have a Davis Vantage Pro 2.

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown skin 1.0 released!

[Pat]

*So you're asking for a complete re-write of the skin?* By all means fork 
it and make it your own! :)

weewx is only generating a small number of web pages for Belchertown. That 
overhead - even on a Pi - is very small. Disable Highcharts and you will 
see. Set Belchertown skin.conf option highcharts_enabled = 0. 

It's the charts with large time spans with a lot of data points. that will 
bog a Pi down. This is a known fact, and even documented with a warning 
inside of graphs.conf itself 

. 

As for the AJAX calls, it's calling 2 files and all the chart data. One is 
the weewx_data.json to populate various fields on the front page, forecast 
json for forecast data, and then all the chart data. 

Calling chart data over an AJAX call is not a problem for your Pi, only a 
problem for the client (like a cell phone not on wifi) if the data set is 
very large. 

Sorry, but I don't have the time to create and support a REST API which 
everyone can point their system to in order to get updates. This is why I 
chose MQTT and why the skin is using it. That's Scenario 5 

. 

As for the graphs, not everyone has web-facing access to MySQL, so the JSON 
files are preferred for many users of the skin based on feedback. 

There are other skins here, one of which have launched Highcharts within 
the last 3 days. That skin also uses the JSON method to transport data to 
the chart and client. 

I'm working on the generator delay option you've asked twice for. My draft 
is working but there's limitations to it. I'll commit something when I can.

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown skin 1.0 released!

[Kike .Asekas]

I want to try it. I'm looking at the code but I don't know if I'll be able 
to change it. I'm still getting it.
I have been looking at the documentation of the weewx github wiki and I 
think that in this skin that obtains the data with ajax it is not necessary 
all the weewx page generation infrastructure to generate the same page at 
each turn.
https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/dashboards
Wouldn't it be interesting to have the skin as described in Scenario 3: 
Upload LOOP / REC data to public-facing front-end? Weewx would handle 
calculations, conversion, storage in the bd, publication in wu and others 
and generate the json necessary for the skin but not the generation of web 
pages.

How about? Would it be a lot of change?

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown skin 1.0 released!

[Kike .Asekas]

Thanks for your answer. I thought of using a new page for that series of 
graphics to put in cheetahgenerator in skin.conf that I generate it every 
month but I think I don't get anything with that because even if it is 
another page the generation is in graphs.conf and they are generated equally in 
every turn.
I hope I can help you, but I don't know if I will have enough knowledge to 
do it.
Greetings

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown skin 1.0 released!

[Pat]

Hi Kike, I'm glad you're enjoying the skin. You've mentioned this problem 
of yours before 
. I 
have it written down to look into. I volunteer my time to this project and 
haven't had enough time to add this feature to development. 

If you implement a way to do this before I can, a pull request is welcomed 
so it can be added in. It could possibly take the "crontab" approach of 
"generate = daily" or "generate = hourly" in the graph group. Then 
belchertown.py would have to translate that to a timestamp and compare that 
on every run. A lot of testing would have to take place.

[weewx-user] Re: Belchertown skin 1.0 released!

[Kike .Asekas]

This skin allows us to make amazing graphics and this makes us want to have 
many.
The problem is that when we want to make a graph that compares the average 
temperatures of the last 10 years per month and another similar with the 
rain, it causes in my rpi 2b + to have blockages in the database when it 
coincides that weewx is writing in the database.
These graphs do not need to be made at each turn because only the last 
query will change minimally and the queries are repeated to obtain data 
already calculated and that do not vary. I believe that something would 
have to be changed so that only the last query (the last month of the last 
year in the example) should be done and take advantage of the previous json 
data. I don't know if it's possible or complicated to do this.
Another way could be marking some graphs so that they are not generated 
every turn.
In my case with the rpi in theory I can have amazing graphics but in 
practice I have to remove them by having many queries that cause me to have 
blockages and data loss.

[weewx-user] SDR driver don't kill your last process and it's unable to restart

[Kike .Asekas]

I am having problems with the sdr driver as a result of having a page with 
many queries that causes after a few hours when weewx writes in the 
database it gives the database is locked error. 
I also don't understand why weewx doesn't wait for the query to finish 
before writing.
When this happens, weewx restart but the sdr driver is unable to boot 
because there is another process rtl_433 running and it gives the error 
usb_claim_interface error -6. 
The driver enters in a loop that does not come out until I stop weewx, kill 
the rtl_433 process and start weewx again
I think the problem is that the previous rtl_433 process was not killed.
