From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Strange Daily Temp Chart

Post by LAdrain »

Since I upgraded to CumulusMX build 3056 the Daily Temp Chart appears to have gone wrong? The 5th Nov and then around the 19th Nov.
Not sure if it is related or another issue? Any ideas on how to fix this?

The Temperature Chart looks fine.

Looks like a problem in dayfile.txt. Looks like you have two entries for 5th November. It also looks like you have entries for 19th, 22nd, 20th, 21st and 22nd November at the end of the file, in that order. The duplicate entries on 5th and 22nd both contain different data for the same day.

Looks like you are right, this is a copy of dayfile.txt.
Not sure which line to delete for the 5th, easy to resort the dates or delete the first 22nd data.
Any idea why this occurred????

I've seen date duplication occur before when communication with the weather station has stopped and an end-of-day rollover occurs while communication has stopped. See this thread. I'm unsure about the jumping about of dates that you are seeing at the end of your dayfile - perhaps due to an extended outage?

Tomorrow I will delete the first entry for 5th of Nov and the early entry for the 22nd.
I am not sure which one is correct, but not sure if matters in the overall things.
Would like to know why these abnormalities have occurred.

Thanks for your help with this.

No problem. Have you checked the diagnostics files around those dates to see if there was a problem with MX connecting with your weather station?
Alternatively, did you have a problem with your MX computer date/time at all? This should be evident from the diagnostics files too.

Cannot see a diagnostic file for the 5th, but I can see than it was on the 22nd I upgraded to the latest version on CumulusMX and it has created two error files.

Thanks again for your help with this.
