Gauges

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).

Gauges

Post by Albert Dulfer »

I am using the default web pages and gauges. It seems that, although I am using metric units, the cloud base gauge always defaults to feet. Is there a setting for this or can I fix it myself?

Looking at the code for the gauges the units are set by ...
// The units actually displayed will be read from the realtime.txt file, or from the users last visit cookie
I don't see a way to set a different default other than to use the UNITS option on the gauges web page and let the cookie remember this.

There's a setting in Cumulus.ini (in the [Station] section) for this:

Code: Select all

CloudBaseInFeet=1
Mine is set to 1, which is feet. Set it to 0 for metres. Do that with Cumulus switched off, though. There is a page in the Wiki describing this.
