NAOO and Airlink problems

[moppedhausi]

Hello Hans,

my installation of CUtils for my Ecowitt weather station still has a few stumbling blocks.
The NOAA reports are not automatically updated via FTP, even though they are ready in the Reports Directory.
Then only the current Airlink values are displayed. The 3 hours and 24 hours and nowcast values are missing. The airlink.txt is probably not being generated correctly?

Where else can I change something?

my website

Hi Wilfried,

The NOAA reports are not automatically updated via FTP, even though they are ready in the Reports Directory.

I do see the reports in CUtils so it is not the display but it is only the FTP transport. That is something you configure in CMX, CUtils only has a display task here. Notably the directory name can be configured (don't change the filenames!!). If other files are transferred then the FTP configuration must be OK.

Then only the current Airlink values are displayed. The 3 hours and 24 hours and nowcast values are missing. The airlink.txt is probably not being generated correctly?

OK. The first time we discussed this was here. My main conclusion was then that you may have two cumulusutils.ini files because the code only deals with the parameters of the lines you wish to see:

Code: Select all

[AirLink]
CountrySelected=EU
WantToSeeNow=true
WantToSeeNowCast=true
WantToSee1hr=true
WantToSee3hr=true
WantToSee24hr=true
WantToSeeWind=true
StandAloneModule=false
ReferenceLineThickness=4
CleanupAirlinkLogs=false

Besides that there were multiple issues with the extrasensors and other thing. So I suggest we start this anew: could you post the last logfile for the generation of the website? And please include your cumulusutils.ini so that I can rerun it here on my system. Skipping configured lines is a strange problem. So indeed the airlink.txt is not generated correctly to your configuration. The question is why

Where else can I change something?

Nowhere: CUtils is only configured with cumulusutils.ini, some settings in Cumulus.ini (but if those fail most likely CMX won't run). The fact that it runs means you have installed it correctly.

OK. Found it: the words true and false MUST be lowercase.

In other cases I force the word that is entered by the user to lowercase but I did not do it here. So this is a bug, consider this fixed for a next release.
The workaround is to use the word lowercase completely (change the capital T to lowercase t.

Code: Select all

WantToSeeNow=true
WantToSeeNowCast=true
WantToSee1hr=true
WantToSee3hr=true
WantToSee24hr=true
WantToSeeWind=true
StandAloneModule=false

Please note that your first post of cumulusutils.ini does have the lowercase word true, so it has been edited in between.

Great, problem solved.
Thank you Hans.

Good

What is left now is entering the normal values in the Cumulus.ini section [NOAA] which will greatly enhance the use of the 'Regen Grafik' and the 'Temp Grafik'. When you are done with that the functional configuration of CUtils is mostly - elementary - done. Whats left then are colours and details

The parameters

Code: Select all

UseNormalTempReference=both *
UseNormalRainReference=both
MaxNrOfSeriesVisibileInGraph=3

may give some pleasure

* possible values are StationAverage , Normal, Both
