However, I am at a bit of delay of doing any updates and uploading. Yesterday both my WiFiLogger and Weatherlink Live stopped connecting to my network within a few hours of each other and nothing I could do to make them work so had to shutdown both CumulusMXs. I couldn't reach Davis on the WLL so waiting to call them in a couple of hours. I also emailed Wojtek on the WiFiLogger issue. I heard back from Wojtek this morning, but lo and behold, the WiFiLogger had come back to life sometime after midnight. beta 6 is on my WLL test system so don't have this running yet (WLL allows more than 1 CMX at the same time but WiFiLogger only 1).

so @Mark: idea? You could take the charts and code for the compiler if you wish, small mods required to make them to your standard

You have been very open for suggestions, the easy ones comes almost the next day!
And I understand that with increasing numbers of users, making changes have to be cautiously considered.

Personally I would like to have the current snowdepth in the Rainfall panel (in norwegian we use Nedbør which is anything from the sky, rain, snow, sleet, hail).
And also make a chart that shows both rain and snowdepth. Is snow already available for Chart-def?

That would probably open for having more than 24 panels. Still only 24 would be shown, divided by two pages. So we have to choose which should be shown.

Thank you for the effort you put into this!

Hmm, maybe discuss offline?

it is there for a reminder to me of the work done in getting it to the current position.

but the link goes to Hans site.

It was late at night and I noticed my URL error, so corrected it. It was late at night ... and forgot to push save!

I saw that your diary does not have the 0.0 values when the field is not entered but the other field is.

  6             ---                 ---            0.10      ---  

Let me know when you can work on the moon image.

MoonImageLocation=../cumulusmx4wll/images/

You might want to consider using the ChartsCompiler by copying CutilsCharts-default-for-use.def to CutilsCharts.def in the utils directory and do a full website generation.

I have beta 6 which I think is the latest. I had noticed, as for Dec 6, 2023 (I recall the date from my sinterklaas reminiscing)

Code: Select all

  6             ---                 ---            0.10      ---  

which has a 24-hr snowfall but no accumulation at 8:00 am reading time. The 24-hr rain was entered as 0.1 (trace) and Depth as 0.0 (no accumulation). It would be nice to have 0.0 display for no depth. All days from Oct to April from 2017 have an entry, unless I missed some during my catch up edit.
Most recent website run cumulusutils log attached.

Let me know when you can work on the moon image.

The moon images are uploaded by CMX to /cumulusmx4wll/images https://www.komokaweather.com/cumulusmx ... s/moon.png
For comparison I looked at the NOAA settings which is working fine as FTPDirectory=./Reports/
So for moon I used =./images/

After many trials the current settings in cumulusutils.ini

Code: Select all

MoonImageLocation=../cumulusmx4wll/images/

I have also tried =
images/
/images/
./images/
../images/
cumulusmx4wll/images/
./cumulusmx4wll/images/
all without success.

For a later time... my initial attempt was a disaster and lost my edited menu, and without a backup But easy recovery in Cutils menu

I do not know how he measures it, but with LDS01 I am expecting to see some figures like this. Maybe not 350 cm, but at least 200.

1. The first chart is temerature and rain in one chart. I think you can create that chart with the ChartsCompiler. I'll try it myself after the weekend if you are not successfull
2. The second chart can be made in the ChartsCompiler. As previous.
3. The third chart is more complex because it shows the snowdepth for every year. The X-axis runs from the first snow date until the last snow date. That is more like the statistics charts where the years make the series on a x-axis with months. That has to be a separate chart and would go in the snow report
