Re: [weewx-user] Re: Pyehpem and International Space Station

pass is a reserved word. It's a statement with a meaning of its own so the python interpretor does not understand its use as a variable name. Rename it to something else - iss_pass ? On 12/02/2020, Kevin Davis wrote: > What am I missing here? > > String in my iss_all.json file: > #set global

Cheetah doesn't like $pass as a variable name. It must confuse Cheetah, there's a #pass directive. Try a different variable name there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

What am I missing here? String in my iss_all.json file: #set global $iss_all = [["Tue Feb 11 10:54 am","SW/10","NE/9","69","6min 45sec"],["Tue Feb 11 12:31 pm","W/10","NE/9","33","6min 16sec"],["Tue Feb 11 02:09 pm","WNW/10","ENE/9","28","6min 3sec"],["Tue Feb 11 03:46

Very cool. Thanks for the input. Certainly helps me to see a working example! On Mon, Feb 10, 2020 at 9:40 AM Walter Smith wrote: > Doing something very similar. Cron job at midnight, Python script to > format a list of stuff from Skyfield I want to display in my template. > Prefix the list

Doing something very similar. Cron job at midnight, Python script to format a list of stuff from Skyfield I want to display in my template. Prefix the list with a "#set global" line: with open('skyprint2A.txt','w') as f3: f3.write('#set global $skytext2 = ') json.dump(l_out_lines_txt,

That certainly seems the easiest way, I just have a FOMO on doing it the "right" way. LOL. Thanks for the input and that's probably what I'll stick with for now then. Just pretty it up and call it a day. On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 8:51 AM vince wrote: > On Sunday, February 9, 2020 at 8:42:58 AM

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Pyehpem and International Space Station

I don't see anything improper about doing it the way you're doing it. It's not following the general architecture for Weewx, but if it works for you and you're learning, I think you should keep at it. To make it look better, take a look at the tables that are already in this skin - either using

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Pyehpem and International Space Station

I'm not using Pyephem for calculating these, I'm using Skyfield and I have written iss.py to build the data set. Sorry if I'm asking a remedial question. I'm still wrapping my head around Python and OO programming. On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 8:35 AM Thomas Keffer wrote: > See the section *Adding

[weewx-user] Re: Pyehpem and International Space Station

Ok, I'm getting a little closer, but I'm struggling on how to incorporate this directly into the weewx reporting system. I have written a Python program which builds(currently ugly) a data set of ISS passes. I am buildiing a file called iss.inc, outisde of weewx through a daily cron job, and

I would love to do some moon-bounce! Looks like so much fun and lots to learn. I have a pi-star here on the bench to build but haven't gotten around to it yet, but I do stay pretty active on All-Star. Usually connected to the East Coast Reflector. While I've been a programmer for 25+

Also consider using SkyField instead of PyEphem as it is newer and supported. Look at https://rhodesmill.org/skyfield/earth-satellites.html and the example under the title 'Finding when a satellite rises and sets' Susan On Sunday, February 2, 2020 at 11:21:29 AM UTC+11, Kevin Davis wrote: > >
