Hi,
I've recently installed cumulus and am trying to get it working with my Davis Vantage Pro 2 plus. I have the Cumulus software working and now i want to set up a website to display the data. I will be planing to winscp the files securely over to my website using a scripthttp://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/SFTP. I have this script working and it downloads the files to my website. However i don't seem to be able to get this batch file to execute from Cumulus. I've attached some images of my setup.
External program is C:\Cumulus\WinSCP\winscp-script.bat
My script file, sftp-cmds.txt, and text file, sftp-cmds.txt, are copied below. I've run these files from the command promt and it works. I moved WinSCP to the cumulus directory as i thought the Program Files x86 might be stuffing up cumulus due to the spaces in the directory.
sftp-cmds.txt:
option batch abort
option confirm off
open ****.****@****.****.***.***
put "C:\Cumulus\realtime.txt" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\index.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\today.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\yesterday.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\record.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\trends.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\gauges.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\thismonth.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\thisyear.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\monthlyrecord.htm" /home/wstat/public_html/
put "C:\Cumulus\web\images\*.png" /home/wstat/public_html/images/
exit
winscp-script.bat:
winscp.com /script=c:\cumulus\sftp-cmds.txt
Lastly, i want to have the solar gauges display on the gauges.htm page, specifically i want to see if the sun is shining (does solar value exceed 75% of theoreticala value). These images appear to be created in the images directory but the gauges.hml file is not made with them inserted. Do i need to change the options i've selected?
many thanks
oman

Re: External program not running? How do i get solar gauges?
Is WinSCP on your command path - did you tick the option when installing it? If that's not the problem, look in the Cumulus diags files and see if there are any relevant error messages.oman4eva wrote:However i don't seem to be able to get this batch file to execute from Cumulus.
Sorry, I don't know what these are; Cumulus doesn't have any solar gauges, and I don't know what the images are that you are referring to. Is it the SteelSeries gauges that you want to use?Lastly, i want to have the solar gauges display on the gauges.htm page, specifically i want to see if the sun is shining (does solar value exceed 75% of theoreticala value).

Re: External program not running? How do i get solar gauges?
Thanks Steve,
Your WinSCP path fix worked, the website files are now automatically being updated to my website via the WinSCP script.
The gauges i was referring to are on the gauges page (see image below, i had to zoom out to show all the gauges)
What i want to see is solar.png and sunshine.png which are located in the web/images directory of cumulus.
I'd assumed these would appear on the gauges page above.
I did have a look at the silverlight gauges but have not messed with them too much. I wasn't able to see how to add the solar gauges to this page either. Below is my silverlight version.

Have you clicked the Trends button, and does that show what you expect?

Re: External program not running? How do i get solar gauges?
No, they aren't gauges. You can add them to the graphs page ("trends") by editing the trendsT.htm file in the Cumulus web folder; they aren't there by default as not everyone has solar sensors. It should be obvious what to do, just add extra lines based on the ones that are there already. You can look at the source of my web page: http://sanday.org.uk/weather/trends.htm. Note that the thumbnail table now has six columns.oman4eva wrote:I'd assumed these would appear on the gauges page above.

Re: External program not running? How do i get solar gauges?
Thanks Guys,
You are all correct and I've added in the solar trends to the trendsT.htm template.
http://www.atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca/wstat/trends.htm
Can someone confirm that the advantage of the silverlight CumulusRealtime.html file is that it updates itself in real time. Where as the standard cumulus website requires you to refresh the page to update the values.
Is it possible to edit the silverlight page to contain similar graphs than what is seen in the gauges and trends pages of the standard cumulus software? Mainly what i'm interested in adding is the wind rose and solar rad data, perhaps altering the pressure gauge to a dial. I thought i'd see if this was possible but it's most probably not worth the time.
Are there any examples of what is possible with the silverlight package? E.g. are cumulus sites i can visit to see what is possible?
thanks again

Yes, that's right.oman4eva wrote:Can someone confirm that the advantage of the silverlight CumulusRealtime.html file is that it updates itself in real time.
The only thing you can change is a few of the colours - see the readme file that came with it. I am no longer developing that application; I suggest you have a look at Mark's SteelSeries gauges, which are being actively developed, are configurable, and have better cross-platform support as they don't depend on Silverlight.Is it possible to edit the silverlight page to contain similar graphs than what is seen in the gauges and trends pages of the standard cumulus software?
