Help for DeAgostini Italian Meto Station

Please, be more specific.

If there are any other way to solve the problem I will be very glad to use it and avoid Steve extra work

Mark means in the code itself.

Sorry, I don't understand.

The problem is when cumulus reads data, so how can I change something?

You can't; I have to change the code.

[robor65]

Sorry, understood!

Please, see PM

One thing that I don't think I've made clear, though you may have worked it out, is that the easyweather.dat file uses the following units: Wind m/s, Temp C, Rain mm, Pressure mb/hPa.

[robor65]

Yes, of course I have changed values accordingly

[robor65]

Just a suggestion!

I see you are not comfortable with EasyWeather and would like to remove the code.

Why don't add the possibility to simply load the last line from a text file formatted just like your <Month><Year>log.txt Datalog files?

In this way everyone who has a station with an output to a text file will be able to use Cumulus. Formatting a text file could be done with a few lines of code or with a database or in a million of different ways.

[steve]

You're missing the point. The code which uses a text file for input (i.e. the easyweather.dat code) is very old and basic and I haven't taken it into account at all when doing all the other changes to Cumulus, so lots of things probably don't work properly with it. It doesn't matter what the format of the input file is.

[robor65]

It's a pity!

There are a lot of stupid station all over (like mine ) who comes with stupid unusefull software, but of course, I can understand your point of view.

[steve]

Eventually, I'll do a proper 'file input' facility.

[robor65]

this could be a good solution
