Using ExtraSensors only for the charts

[Dador]

HansR,

Version 6.7.0 (25/10/2021)

6. ExtraSensors: For the command line parameter ExtraSensors, now the CompileOnly parameter is implicit. This means that now the command utils/bin/cumulusutils.exe ExtraSensors is enough to create the resulting extrasensorscharts.txt

Something's not working here. Only the following files are created:
cumuluscharts.txt
extrasensors.txt
extrasensorsrealtime.txt

Nowhere extrasensorscharts.txt

I run:

Code: Select all

C:/CumulusMX/utils/bin/cumulusutils.exe ExtraSensors

@Dador:

Everything is going as planned but the log says:

2021-10-26 08:19:00.184 GenerateExtraSensorsCharts: Testing UserModificationExtraSensorCharts: true

which means the system expects you to create/define your own charts for the ExtraSensor module. Apparently you did not do that and there are no ExtraSensor charts in the utils/CutilsCharts.def.

I would disadvise creating your own charts if you are not sure about CDL, the ChartsCompiler and how the system works.
So, first, set UserModificationExtraSensorCharts to false (the default, lowercase) and run again.

If you do want to learn how to create your own charts (or modify the generated charts) let me know and we could start an exercise on this. With so many ExtraSensors it may be useful and educational.

EDIT: btw, your site is not working anymore!

In fact, everything is already working. CumulusMX build 3151 was to blame. Has an ftp upload problem . I am waiting for an update.

It's not that hard
