Displayed Wind Direction

Post by naptonboy »

Software version 1.9.0 Build 958

In the setup I have input a -10 degree calibration offset (to save me climbing up the triple extension ladder to rotate the mast 10 degrees and then realign the TV aerial that shares the pole).

Alas now, when the wind is from a northerly direction I often see the direction 370 degrees rather than 010 degrees displayed.

Also a side issue, as a pilot I would love to see the wind display in aviation format, that is, (for say a westerly 15 kt wind with 25kts gusts) 270/15kts gusting 25kts

Ah - MINUS 10. In your email, you said PLUS 10. I can see what the problem is now; I'll fix it in the next build.
