Webtag

[KF0KFL-13]

I was experimenting with using this following webtag in my wxnow.txt file so my station can report snowfall observed:
<#snow24hr>
The comment added to my wxnow looks like this:

s<#snow24hr> FCST:<#cumulusforecast> https://bit.ly/43Xtq6O

Can you modify the webtag without the decimal?
The current results: 0.00 ( currently no recent snowfall )
I'd like to see it show up as :"00"

Also currently a null value shows up as: "-"
Any way to have a null value come up as ".." or default to "00" ?

Thanks in advance

You can do both, see this wiki page

Hint: dp=, nv=

Thank you mcrossley!
Let me play around with it!

I rewrote it as:
s<#snow24hr nv=00, dp=0> FCST:<#cumulusforecast> https://bit.ly/43Xtq6O

the results are still coming up as 0.00 if I input 0 instead of leaving null

I think I might not understand how to write the dp= correctly

[freddie]

You shouldn't have a comma between nv=00 and dp=0. Try this:

Code: Select all

<#snow24hr nv=00 dp=0>

I checked, and dp= isn't supported for the snow web tags, it is supposed to be, that is an oversight, I'll fix it for the next release.
nv= is supported though.

Good to know! Thank you!

I just upgraded to build # 4083

After the snowfall last week I was experimenting with the weather diary so that my APRS reports would show the snowfall within the last 24 hours.

It seem like the result in the wxnow need to come out in 3 digit (ie: 1" = 100, 1.75" = 175, 2.25" = 225,ect) Can the webtag be modified like that?

Also I see that Laser Distance Sensors can be added to CMX to automate the measurement. Is the an example of one that can be added anyone can share!

OK! Build# 4084 now!

If you are using the web tag, then you can add the tag parameter to control the number of decimal places - dp=N - where N is the number of decimals you require.

[KF0KFL-13]

I figured out how to remove the decimal point. I'm wondering if there's a way to force the number to a specific number of digits without the decimal point.
(ie: 1" = 100, 1.75" = 175, 2.25" = 225,ect)

Here is the comment I'm having added on my wxnow file:
s<#snow24hr nv=000 dp=0>FCST: <#cumulusforecast>. https://bit.ly/43Xtq6O


Thanks again

Hi,

The new Ecowitt LDS01 is working with CumulusMX. viewtopic.php?p=189709#p189709

Enjoy,

Not without using the web tag in some form of script and manipulating it there.
