Re: [weewx-user] Re: Loading Xtides with Forecast

I got a message that the file was too large.

Let’s try again:

It is not what I expected.  I’ll give you the whole built directory tree:

From your home directory, remove the exiting xtide directory, then untar what you just downloaded:

rm -rf xtide-2.15.5
tar -zxvf xtide-2.15.5.tar.gz

Now try executing tide again.  If that works, restart weewx and see if it works.

This script is just a wrapper for tide.
See the libtool documentation for more information.

Is this what you expected ?

And what happens when you type:

/home/phil/xtide-2.15.5/tide

on the command line?

Does the program run?

If so, grep XTideThread in the logs and send the results.  How you look at logs will vary depending on how you have set this up (but probably journalctl).

I don’t see a “prog = “ line in the XTide section (per my instructions).  Did you do that?
And did you create a /etc/xtide.conf file?

Would you please follow the instructions line by line?

Sorry sent to early
Thought that your file needs to be an executable so from the xtide-2.15.5 directory
sudo chmod +x tide
Still no tidal events

Hi John
Still no joy

Unzipped your file and loaded it into directory xtide-2.15.5 as tide
In weewx.conf under [[XTide]] prog = /home/phil/xtide-2.25.5/tide
Then carried on from your readme notes
sudo apt install xtide-data
sudp apt instal xtide-data-nonfree
Both loaded OK
created /etc/xtide.conf
Added /usr/share/xtide   into the file 
The 2 harmonics exixts in /usr/share/xtide    harmonics-dwf-20100529-nonfree.tcd  and  harmonics-dwf-20191229-free.tcd 
In the weewx.conf under [[XTide]] added 
location = "Cromer, England"
interval = 86400
duration = 86400
max_age = 86400
sudo systemctl restart weewx
sudo systemctl status weewx
2 lines for xtideThread
user.forecast: XTideThread: XTide: generating tides from 2024-06-17 00:00:: BST (1718578800)) to 2024-06-18 00:00:00 (1718665200)
user.forecast: XTideThread: XTide: got no tidal events

Change the location to whats in your readme notes
location = "Palo Alto Yacht Club Harbor, San Francisco Bay, California"
Still no tidal events

Philip,

Rather than try to walk you through building a package, attached is a zip of the tide executable that you need.

unzip it anywhere you like and point to it by following the instructions on the README page in github or in my email.
