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).

Post by 92merc »

I've been using IPTL since the end of May. I have it setup to get my weather info from WD. But I don't like how it shows wind with decimal places. And pressure shows only with 1 decimal place.

I had an HTX file from a long time ago that I tried switching to yesterday. But the issue is the text spacing changes. So as wind goes from N, NNW, or speed goes from 9 to 15, it adds more characters per a line.

The issue comes along when my nightly video is made. It makes the text jump all over. Kind of a twitchy view of the video.

My current HTX file just has this:
Temp: <#temp><#tempunitnodeg> Wind: <#currentwdir> at <#wlatest> <#windunit> Gust: <#wgust> <#windunit> Pressure: <#press> <#pressunit> Rain: <#rfall> <#rainunit>

But I need to figure out how to change that so all the text stays in the same spacing.

If you look at the beginning of the video, it was WD. At about 1:00 pm, it switches to the Cumulus file I had. So you can see the text twitching. I'm guessing I need to figure out how to hard code each value to the number of characters I want. Appreciate the help.
