Changing wrong temperature reading

Post by Jonathan Jefferies »

Hi
I need to change a false temperature reading which is -25oc for 28th November as cumulus mx had a moment. I have been into the raspberry pi using putty but not sure how to change the error reading to a correct reading in alltime.ini.

Any help greatfully appreciated

Nano is quite good for quick simple edits on the Pi - http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2013/1 ... pberry-pi/

Make sure MX is stopped when you edit the file. You can find the previous record that was overwritten by looking at alltimelog.txt

Many thanks for the information regarding changing an error in my temperature readings. I have altered what i can but when i go into trends/graphs and daily temp it still shows up -25 for the 2nd Dec on the graph for some reason. Records are ok as well as data files. What do i need to change still?

Many thanks

The daily temp graph is drawn at startup from values in dayfile.txt
