CRTDGv153.zip

Lluís,
Sorry about that I had Grabber generate the file name for the wind compass
as WindCompass.jpg, when it should have been windcompass.jpg.

I have corrected my code and updated the HTML Templates so all should work
correctly now

Can you let me know if it displays correctly for you.


Version 1.5.3 - (28-10-13)

1. Corrected file name for Wind compass image & updated HTML templates.


Regards,

One more idea..

It's easy to include this to webpage?

A lot of thanks for your work !!!

Hi luís

Those values are labels I have added to the tab area and don't get captured when the wind rose
Chart gets saved. So I will have to capture the whole tab area, similar to the way I have had to do
for the Wind Compass screen.

I will try and sort this out for you in the next release.

FYI. I only had those fingers put on the screen just to show what info I use to generate the chart.
As well as for me when I was testing my code to make sure my formulas were working correctly.

Hi Solarize,
first of all, my english isn't quite well (sometimes use Google Translator), and I want to ask you a question

I wanted to ask you because they get nothing in these files. These days it has rained a lot in my area, about 90 mm​​, but more than the look, does not offer any data. Do I have to do something special?

Thank you very much for your attention

Hi luís

The prediction logs only get populated if Grabber predicts that there will
be rain. Also the rain symbol will be displayed and a RED line will get drawn
at a value of 1 to the RainFall Chart.

The code that predicts that there could be rain, is a very simple equation
and as such may not always predict rain could fall even if there is actuall
rainfall. (I hope that makes sense?)

My code checks to see if the Dewpoint is within +-1.0°C of the current Temperature
and that the Humidity is >=90%, if these criteria are met then rain prediction
is True.

Without a very complex equation (which I am not sure how to even start looiking at),
taking into account may factors I can not get the prediction any more accurate.

I can see that your rain fall chart (see image below), does not indicate a redline
value of 1 on the chart, therefore the prediction is not true and will not get populated
into the log files.

If you notice that the red line is drawn to the chart at a value of 1 (see image below)
and the log files still do not log a prediction, can you let me know and I will look into
this further for you.

is it possible to turn off the ftp up loading as I don't use it and keep getting an error message each day. its a great tool, and I use it to monitor 2 unmanned stations with logmein. if not I can live with it just though I would ask.

Hi Bruce,

I am glad you find Grabber useful

There is an option to turn ON and OFF Automatic chart exporting which can be
accessed by pressing the [CONFIG] button, to get to the Configuration Screen.
Then un-ticking the "Auto Export charts on program start" box.

Also on the main screen, the "Start - Export Charts" button need to show: [Start - Export Charts],
not [Stop - Export Charts].

Please refer to the screen shot below, with the above mentioned buttons and tickbox clouded in red.

If after checking/correcting these options you still get an error message could you please screencapture
the message and post it back to the forum, and I will investigate further for you.

Mark, I took the liberty of removing the screen shot from your post, as it appeared to have your ftp login information in it.

[bruce45]

ok thanks for that info I will see what happens and if I still have the error message will get back in touch

thanks

bruce

[Solorize]

Thanks Steve

I will upload it again with the info removed. Still not properly awake at the moment,
as my little one kept us up most of the night

Time to get some caffeine!

Cheers

Mark

[Solorize]

OK Bruce, I will wait to hear back from you.
