All working fine.
Many thanks for the new release.

 I have successfully installed the steelseries gauges and the rtgd 
 extension. All works fine and it is fantastic to see the gauges updating 
 in 
 real time.

 Just one small problem - the Wind Direction gauge shows latest and 
 average, but the average is always the same as the latest. Tried playing 
 with the rtgd.py program but even when I set data[avgdirection] to a 
 different value, nothing  changes.

 Any ideas?

[weewx-user] Re: rtgd-0.5.5 extension Wind Direction Average

[gjr80]

I've released v0.6.0 which should fix the average bearing/current bearing 
issue highlighted in this thread. The release can be found in the usual 
place .

In testing v0.6.0 I've noticed a problem with sporadic windrun updates on 
the Wind Rose gauge. I'm not sure if this a bug or an issue with my system 
as it needs more debug time than I have available just now. I will 
investigate later this week and if necessary make a dot dot release.

[weewx-user] Re: rtgd-0.5.5 extension Wind Direction Average

[David Marshall]

Thanks Gary, looking at that.
Tried to keep things as simple as possible at the esp32 end, (which by the 
way is an amazing piece of kit for $10). So it is sending very raw data - 
number of clicks from the rain bucket, number of revolutions from the wind 
cups, for example. The python program then converts this into sensible data.
If I need to make any changes in the esp32 it needs to be physically 
connected to the pc using the Arduino ide, which is a pain. Also wanted to 
make as few demands on it as possible until I see how stable it is. But so 
far so good.
If it stays stable will try the direct mqtt driver.

Thanks for spotting this. There is an issue is v0.5.5 that maps current 
wind direction to both the 'bearing' and 'avgbearing' fields used by the 
SteelSeries gauges. I should have a fix by tomorrow.

Use the MQTT driver which takes the data directly from your mosquitto 
server.
Avoids all the middleware.
I use Rich's excellent package.
