Using Easyweather.dat with build 3032

[chappelledpc]

I just uploaded build 3032 to the server I run for my Acurite station that I have making a Easyweather.dat file that updates every 18 seconds. I use the same EW file to update MX on the Linux platform and the PC platform running Cumulus 1. On the PC platform I have the updates to 0.300 seconds (EWInterval=0.300000011920929 in the Cumulus.ini file). When I saw that 3032 changed the EW interval to float I got excited and thought that maybe I could get off the PC platform all together. No such luck If I set EWInterval to anything other than an integer, I get the error included below. Maybe I 'm doing something wrong or not understanding something????? Any help I could get would bee appreciated.

BTW - I bought a Davis VP2 back in September and put it on a Raspberry Pi running MX from the start. It's been chugging along flawlessly I love MX!

I have uploaded build 3032, which fixes the following issues:

Checksum validation for Instromet is wrong, so all data is rejected
Dominant wind direction is wrong when Davis logger data is used (i.e. when catching up)
Easyweather.dat reading interval is an integer, should be a float as in Cumulus 1

Sorry, yes - I changed the type of the variable to a float, but I didn't change the code which reads it from the ini file, and that code is rounding it to zero. I'll fix it in the next build.

Thanks for the quick response Steve. No biggie. We'll give it a try next release.

Thanks again for all of your hard work on MX!
