Wind speed and Wind gust units

[kapo]

Hi
Could someone give me a littlebit advice, how I could correct my wind and Gust speed units shown in my ajax-dashboard? Link to the page: index.php.Units are km/h and m/s and they are just wrong... that month high should be km/h and others m/s. And I don't know why there are two different units? I have checked settings and all stuff I know where it could be updated. My wind speed units are m/s from Davis console --->Cumulus---->CUtags--->Ajax-dashboard, except somwhere some units are changed km/h, and in wrong place... What have I messed in this time, and is it possible to correct that error made by kapo ?? My weatherstation had one year birthday yesterday, so that first year went as practising these things, but in the future I try to get this hobby to work correctly, so this unit problem is first thing to try correct.. I need a little help to know where those Wspeed and WGust and their units are red so I could correct those, until for Y2014, when that kind of mistakes should get minimised, and this thing is only for myself...

Open Settings.php with an editor and check around line 146

Code: Select all

$SITE['uomWind'] = ' mph';   // =' km/h', =' kts', =' m/s', =' mph'

Make sure your 'uomWind' value is set to ' m/s'

Thank You
Checked and 'uomwind' value was/is 'm/s'

There are actually two settings for units.. one in Settings.php for the PHP parts of the pages (and should reflect the actual units used for reporting in CUtags.php), and a second set of settings in ajaxCUwx.js for the AJAX updates from the realtime.txt.

The default ajaxCUwx.js for the World template uses C, km/h, hPa, mm for Temp, wind, baro, rain respectively. You can force m/s to be displayed by setting in ajaxCUwx.js

Code: Select all

var useMPS   = true;       // set to true for meters/second for metric wind speeds, false= km/h

Best regards,

Ok, then next

Run:
http://www.kapo511.net/check-fetch-time ... w=versions
and update your scripts to the current versions.

I notice that when I refresh your page it shows UoM as m/s but then when the updates stop it goes back to kph. Strange.

Yes, there is that default selected, ofcourse I did not find that... But what happens if I change that to 'm/s' ? Will it correct that, or not? I really don't know...
And there is that "strange" : "I notice that when I refresh your page it shows UoM as m/s but then when the updates stop it goes back to kph. Strange." Quote from Kurt...
I have noticed that before too.. What scripts I should update that this little mess should correct?

I have to defer to Ken in all things PHP related, but I do note that your ajaxCUwx.js script in line 65 reads:

Code: Select all

var useMPS   = false;       // set to true for meters/second for metric wind speeds, false= km/h

BTW, Ken good to hear from you. Hadn't seen any posts from you here for some time.

You do need to change ajaxCUwx.js to have

Code: Select all

var useMPS   = true;       // set to true for meters/second for metric wind speeds, false= km/h

in order to fix the issue you are seeing. The PHP is correct; the problem is in the ajaxCUwx.js

[kapo]

O.K !!
Now are units o.k. Only prob. is now month high: 64 m/s !! quite a hard wind.... But that's no matter, next Year must be correct.... Thank You once again!!!

Next, you need to correct your realtime chart since it is km/h!

Easy to fix that, too.

Hi again
I updated those scripts (= ajaxCUwx.js, ajax-gizmo.php, include-wxstatus.php, Settings.php ) and after that..... my index-page stopped to update automatic.... until this, before updating, page updated automaticly, now I am again lost as a little boy and don't know what to do.... So could somebody give little help again???? I have inspected all I know where that auto update is, but no results.... link: http://www.kapo511.net/index.php , it updates once, when open it, but after that even that counter: "updated ___ seconds ago dosen't show anything....and no update

Kapo:

If you set line 54 of ajaxCUwx.js:

Code: Select all

var reloadTime = 60000;       // reload AJAX conditions every 5 seconds (= 5000 ms)

back to 5000, what happens?

Merry Christmas!

Hi
It is 5000 ms, and no work....

OK, we may have to wait for Ken on this since he is the expert.

But...if you change line 56 of ajaxCUwx.js:

Code: Select all

var maxupdates = 0;	         // Maxium Number of updates allowed (set to zero for unlimited)

to 48, any change?

I notice that on my home page if I set maxupdates to 0, it doesn't blink the temperature value anymore.

[kapo]

No change....
