Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
David the only thing I can figure is this old brain saw the
cumulusrealtime.xap file and expected to see cumulusrealtime.xml in the left hand file list.
If I would have used the snipit tool I am sure I would have seen it then.
Again sorry for the wasted forum space.

Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
Have you got Windows set to hide known file extensions? That can get very confusing, it's one of the first things I change on a new Windows install.

Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
It's Windows trying to be smart -- if it knows what the file format is it will hide the extension and use a description. Same with the HTML and Text file.
Whereas it had no idea what the XAP file was so listed it with an extension

I just made the change. Thank you for the suggestion.steve wrote:Have you got Windows set to hide known file extensions? That can get very confusing, it's one of the first things I change on a new Windows install.
Odd though, I did a search last night and windows did not find the file. I wonder if the search cannot see the file after it is unzipped or maybe it could not see it with the file extension hidden or maybe I goofed that up too.

Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
I had a chance to work on realtime tonight. I stumbled a couple of times but it is up and running now.
http://mybaxleyweather.localweatherview ... ltime.html
I used 30 second updates to work with the fine offset.
Really nice looking gauges.
Thanks for all the help.
Now it is off to try my hand in customizing the Cumulus standard pages.

Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
The only problem with 30 seconds updates is that Cumulus RealTime shows your the "loading data" message for the first 30 seconds so it makes it look like it has hung.wd40 wrote:I used 30 second updates to work with the fine offset.

Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
Yes, the best Fine Offset stations can do is 48 seconds, the rate they transmit to the console.daj wrote:The only problem with 30 seconds updates is that Cumulus RealTime shows your the "loading data" message for the first 30 seconds so it makes it look like it has hung.wd40 wrote:I used 30 second updates to work with the fine offset.

Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
Yes, it's something I need to address when I eventually get back to doing something with this. It's just much easier to program the way it is now (just start the timer).daj wrote:The only problem with 30 seconds updates is that Cumulus RealTime shows your the "loading data" message for the first 30 seconds so it makes it look like it has hung.

Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
You are right about that. The wiki did suggest a typical setting of 15 seconds. I just changed it to 15 seconds. Of course I forgot to change the xml file the first timeThe only problem with 30 seconds updates is that Cumulus RealTime shows your the "loading data" message for the first 30 seconds so it makes it look like it has hung.
At 5 seconds, does that use a lot of bandwidth?
I do know that the FO is a 48 second update.

Re: Realtime gauges v1.0.0.3 available for download
No, the bandwidth for realtime is tiny, and only relevant when someone is viewing the page if you only change the interval in the XML filewd40 wrote:....

You are right about the 48 second FO update, but for Cumulus Relatime I would set it to 5 seconds for now just to get over the "loading" problem
