Cumulus Support

Hello everyone I was working on adding the Icumulus to my website but the link to download the zip seems to be broken. I have Safari, Chrome, and firefox. I wanted to try the top 3 before posting here. Can someone share the file with me?

I have a copy here - I don't know if it was the latest version.

Thank you so much Steve, that was a really fast reply.

That worked like a charm.

If you want to check out the weather in Wasilla, AK; www.robothome.us

I've adapted David A Jamieson's original file for use with my Davis Weather station in Tamworth but it should work with any station with UV and Solar sensors.

I have also extended the file to include the Month and the Year.

I've adapted David A Jamieson's original file for use with my Davis Weather station in Tamworth but it should work with any station with UV and Solar sensors and my Maplins Weather station in Barcelona.

Both files now include:

• Station rollover time ie. midnight, 9:00am or 10:00am
  Wind Run
  Current Month
  Current Year

The UVSolar file also includes:

• Hours of Sunshine
  UV Index
  Solar Radiation

Hi guys

I'm trying to get this running with CumulusMX. I unzipped the files and uploaded them to the server. However, in CumulusMX I cannot find the option to upload the specific index.html file as specified in the instructions.

Is there a special trick to get it working?

Thanks
Cobus

You configure extra files in MX in a similar way to Cumulus 1. See 'Extra web files' on the 'Settings' menu.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry, I missed that page.

I now set it up but still get file with the tags <#temp>, etc. in stead of the actual values. What am I doing wrong?

Just to check, in the local filename box I have "c\cumulusmx\webfiles\mobile\index.html". I put the index.html file inside the webfiles folder just to group it with the other web files. I noticed that in the wiki instructions the colon is left out. Is that intentional?
For remote filename I have "/weather/mobile/index.html". The FTP account I set up in CumulusMX goes directly to the html folder, when I connect using an FTP application I see the /weather/ folder. That is why I omitted the "/var/www/..." part. Is that the correct assumption?

How does the local index.html file get updated?

Thanks

You have forgotten to tick the Process box which tells Cumulus to process the tags and substitute "live" values prior to upload.

The "Process" box is ticked (and FTP).

How does Cumulus know where the index.html file is located on my local drive?

Ok, I had a look at the folder on the local hard drive where the index.html file is located and it seems like Cumulus is creating a index.htmltemp file in this folder every minute but the index.html file is not updated. I think that is why the file that is uploaded is not populated with the correct information. Question is now, why does it only create a temp file?

Thanks for the assistance.

Ok, got it working. Seems like the local file address should include the colon. Changed to "C:\CumulusMX\webfiles\mobile\index.html" and now it works.

Drive letter specifiers on Windows always include a colon. I've corrected the screen shot in the wiki.
