Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Just wanted to thank Gary for all of his help. Had to take the thread offline and through regular email as I could not send an attachment. Turned out that after setting everything up, there were a few typos that were finally found and corrected. SteelGauges with real time (2 second) updating

Good Morning, Gary. I implemented your changes from last night, and with the exception of gauge-data.txt now in /var, there is no other change. Here are two observations from today: 1. With debug = 1 there is no record of any of the charts (such as dayinouttemp.png) being uploaded to any

PPS. You should then be able to redo the changes to the ss/skin.conf so that the mouseover plots are generated and upload by FTP. Gary On Saturday, 27 October 2018 09:33:52 UTC+10, gjr80 wrote: > > They just keep coming don't they! > > What is happening with the FtpGenerator error is that when

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

They just keep coming don't they! What is happening with the FtpGenerator error is that when rtgd creates gauge-data.txt it actually builds the file in gauge-data.txt.tmp and once the file is complete it is copied to gauge-data.txt. This is known as an atomic write and is done to lessen the

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Thinking just now I suspect this is because we disabled the SteelSeries Gauges extension. Am out for the rest of the day so going to have to leave this for now. Have a long train ride so plenty of time to give it some more thought and post a solution, probably a tomorrow job for you though :)

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

The timeUTC is changing so the loops are working. Now to find why the background graphs stopped. Is that a problem in the line imgPathURL : '', // *** Change this to the relative path for your 'Trend' graph images should '', be changed to '/ss/', or something like that?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Easy to tell, just open http://www.photokinetics.org/Weather/gauge-data.txt and refresh the page a few times while observing the timeUTC value, you will see the seconds ticking over if it is loop. Gary On Friday, 26 October 2018 13:04:16 UTC+10, Steve2Q wrote: > > ok..found the error in the

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

First up let's deal with the changing gauges.js. The rtgd extension generates a loop based gauges-data.txt and optionally uploads this to your web server. rtgd knows nothing about gauges.js. The SteelSeries Gauges extension generates an archive based gauge-data.txt plus it copies all of the

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

ok..found the error in the realTimeUrlWeewx line..so now the gauges appear to be functioning. Graphs are still stopped at 214 pm, and I wont' know until I get some wind if the gauges are looping or still on the archive interval. Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Gary...the following two lines in gauges.js have me very confused: imgPathURL : '', // *** Change this to the relative path for your 'Trend' graph images realTimeUrlWeewx : '../gauges/gauge-data.txt', // *** WeeWX Users: Change to your location of the gauge data

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

I can see gauge-data.txt is now being uploaded every loop packet but the realTimeUrlWeewx setting in gauges.js has reverted to an old value and consequently the gauges page can't find gauge-data.txt. Gary On Friday, 26 October 2018 12:23:47 UTC+10, Steve2Q wrote: > > I uploaded the .php file

I uploaded the .php file to the web server. Since this afternoon, it now appears that the background images stopped uploading to the web server at 2:15 pm..and I thought it was corrected. I can only find .png files that were uploaded to that time. I will wait till tomorrow morning to see if adding

Gary..here is the [RealTimeGaugeData] Stanza from an old weewx.conf file: I will add that the first three lines were not in my present weewx.conf, so I added them but it still is not doing the loop updates. [RealtimeGaugeData] remote_server_url =

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Ok, easy fix for the windchill/heatindex gauge display. I oversimplified the default values in my previous post. You can specify what units are used in gauge-data.txt, this is somewhat superfluous as the SteelSeries Gauges have radio buttons on the page to select the display units so in that

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

I just checked the weeWX machine, and gauge-data.txt is updating every 2 seconds. As for the windchill and heat index, The windchill used to read 0 when either calculation was not met. It now reads 32 F as you said. I think (and this is from a previous post from you) the behavior may be different

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Progress is being made. I now have the units F and MPH rather than C and KmPH in the Wunderground scroll bar. The background charts were not updating, but I got that going. Now the only things left are: 1. Gauges are only updating at my archive interval of 2 minutes instead of my 2 second

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Gary..its working!. Thanks! I think part of the problem was that I made the weewx url change in gauges.js on the local weewx machine rather than on the webserver. I changed the update time to two seconds, but i need some wind to tell if it is working. My WUnderground API still appears to bw

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Steve, Sat down with your gauge-data.txt and a VM and was able to reproduce your issue. I was right in as much as it is the N/A entries in gauge-data.txt that cause the bad behaviour of the gauges, but rather than the windchill and heatindex etc values (fields wchill and heatindex in

Ok, I can see the same problem still exists so it would seem it is with the extension and not rtgd. I can access your gauge-data.txt and gauges.js so I should be able to track down the failure mechanism and hopefully the root cause. Will get back to you tomorrow your time. Gary On Wednesday,

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Hi Gary. Here is what I did. Uninstalled rtgd using wee_extension. Then did the same with steelseries-2.6.3. Stopped/start Weewx. I then went through /weewx looking for any folders; I found and removed weewx/skins/ss and weewx/public_html/ss. I also removed any directories from my web server.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Hi Steve, Ah, the penny has just dropped. Can you uninstall rtgd. Now that I think back I saw an issue like this sometime ago (not sure if it was you) and I seem to remember the constant rescaling/redrawing of gauges was due to both the SteelSeries extension and rtgd producing gauge-data.txt

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Hi Gary..when it is convenient for you (I'm sure you have a real life!!), I am still flummoxed (bushed?)! I did several uninstall/re-install cycles of Steel Gauges and Rtgd. Right now I am back to just having SG version 2.6.3 with no changes to any of the files. You can see what this looks like

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

A few more thoughts. There are two publicly available ways of generating gauge-data.txt that I know of; the SteelSeries Gauges extension which produces a gauge-data.txt on each report cycle and my realtime gauge data (RTGD) extension that produces a loop based gauge-data.txt. I cannot recall,

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Gary, I changed wxformulas.py as follows: For windchill and heat index (in Fahrenheit of course!), I changed both Return T andReturn t_f to Return None. I did this before getting involved with Steel Gauges to prevent out of range values from being plotted in the charts. I am still

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Steel Gauges question

Ok, I see. Simple solution is to just display C, but I am guessing that is not a practical solution for you :) Seriously, I believe the issue is due to the absence of numeric values for windchill and heatindex. I would have to look at the auto scale routines in the SteelSeries Gauges code but

This is a VERY old thread, but I bumped it back up because I ran into a problem. I have been trying to track down what may be a memory leak, and in doing so I started from scratch with a new installation on a new RPi. After a couple of days, the memory use leveled off, so I started to
