Version 3244 not calculating average wind speed

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Version 3244 not calculating average wind speed

Post by seggins »

Version 3244 is not calculating average wind speed on my Instromet system. I have reverted to 3241 for the time being.

Hmm, I'm not sure why I made that change! I have reverted it for the next build.

But I'm also puzzled that it was not calculating an average - many other stations rely on MX calculating the average.

Sorry, a correction/retraction, I was looking at the Tempest station code!

For your Instromet you must enable: Station Settings > Common Options > Calculate average wind speed.

Note that may not work too well when catching up the from logger.

I'll make that setting default to enabled for Instromet stations in the next build. But during catch-up from the logger, it will use the station average wind speed as Instromet makes it available for historic data but not live.
