Re: [weewx-user] Steel Series PNG Files

Ron,

Would you verify that the following file exists:
/var/www/html/weewx/steelseries/gauge-data.txt

If it does, next you need to determine if it is being updated on every loop record.  Is it changing only on the archive interval (every 5 minutes) or more often (perhaps every two seconds for some devices)?

If gauge-data.txt is working correctly, we can make the changes to point the _javascript_ to the correct file.

John,

I'm pretty sure they are mcrossley gauges.

That looks fine.  The problem might be a mismatched SteelSeries-Weather-Gauges.

I provided you with a link to Mark Crossley’s original repository; but Gary modified that.  Exactly which SteelSeries-Weather-Gauges do you have installed?

Please send the section of weewx.conf for realtime gauges.  Don’t send your entire weewx.conf file.

Also, we still need to get to the bottom of why max_age is a string.  Hacking the code to change it to an int is not a desirable way to work around the issue.  Perhaps when you send the weewx.conf entrees, we’ll get an answer to that question.

Well, I screwed up the line I wanted you to add.  Then end of that line should have been:

(ts, type(ts), self.cache[obs][‘ts’], type(self.cache[obs][‘ts’]), max_age, type(max_age)))

As I mentioned, the only way you could get this is if max_age is a string.
Are you sure you don’t have max_cache_age = “600” (i.e., the 600 in quotes) in weewx.conf?

Hi,

The error in your WeeWX log shows a type mismatch in the RealtimeGaugeData extension. The issue is that max_age is being treated as a string instead of an integer when comparing timestamps.


Find the problematic line (around line 2894):

if obs in self.cache and ts - self.cache[obs]['ts'] <= max_age:
Modify it to ensure integer comparison:
if obs in self.cache and ts - self.cache[obs]['ts'] <= int(max_age):

Also check the calling function (around line 2908) and ensure the max_age parameter is passed as integer:
packet[obs] = self.get_value(obs, ts, int(max_age))
Cheers,
Ian
