SteelSeries Gauges - version 1.0

Fine job Mark.
Works a treat!

Mark.

I do have just one question for you.
How do I change the default radio button selections?
I would like to default to apparent temp instead of dew point.

You need to change the HTML

Code: Select all

        <input id="rad_dew1" type="radio" name="rad_dew" value="dew" checked onclick="doDew(this)" />
        <label id="lab_dew1" for="rad_dew1">Dew Point</label>
        <input id="rad_dew2" type="radio" name="rad_dew" value="app" onclick="doDew(this)" />
        <label id="lab_dew2" for="rad_dew2">Apparent</label>

to

Code: Select all

        <input id="rad_dew1" type="radio" name="rad_dew" value="dew" onclick="doDew(this)" />
        <label id="lab_dew1" for="rad_dew1">Dew Point</label>
        <input id="rad_dew2" type="radio" name="rad_dew" value="app" checked onclick="doDew(this)" />
        <label id="lab_dew2" for="rad_dew2">Apparent</label>

and Gauges.js line 205

Code: Select all

    g_dew.selected = 'dew';

to

Code: Select all

    g_dew.selected = 'app';

Hope that helps.

Thanks Mark.

I had the html sorted but the line in gauges.js had eluded me.
It's all good now.

Nice work Mark. Like the gauges.
HTML 5 in the future?

to

Code: Select all

Hope that helps.

Mark, I think line 203 should also be changed from

Code: Select all

g_dew.title = LANG.dew_title;

to

Code: Select all

g_dew.title = LANG.apptemp_title;

otherwise the title on the gauge remains 'Dew Point'...

Instruments read very well, but in my case http://achaiki.eu/weather/omplos/gauges-ss.htm they remain still unless we make some adjustment like for example internal from the external temperature. Also it doesn’t show the time of renewal.

Indeed, I thought of that after I posted, but I'd shut my computer down and needed some sleep A hard day on a customer site

Mark, sorry for bringing this up again but I wonder if you could help me with a problem with the instruments. As I wrote you before the instruments remain idle after loading the page. But when a replace mine http://achaiki.eu/weather/omplos/realtimegauges.txt with yours http://weather.wilmslowastro.com/realtimegauges.txt then the instrument page works fine. The only difference I noticed between the two realtimegauges.txt, is that mine uses a "," while yours uses a ".". But when I substitute , with . it still doesn't work: http://achaiki.eu/weather/omplos/gauges-ss.htm
My second remark is that from my realtimegauges.txt are missing in the end some digits which have to do with the date form.
I would appreciate your views.

[mcrossley]

OK, it looks like we have an extended character set problem with the txt file.

It may be that Cumulus saves the file as ANSI, but the first thing to try is:
1. Open realtimegaugesT.txt in Notepad.
2. File|Save As...
3. Make sure that the "Encoding" is set to UTF-8 and resave the file.

Once this is done check to see if the generated file contains entries such as this |ÄéáóôÞìáôá âñï÷üðôùóçò, ðïëý áóôáèÞò| for the forecast.

Can you confirm the realtimegaugesT.txt has the following as the last entry on the line:

Code: Select all

<#timeUTC format=yyyy,m>-1,<#timeUTC format=d,h,m,s>

EDIT: Also, as you use an extended character set language, the LCD font probably will not be able to display the forecast message, so you need to switch to the 'normal' font in gauges.js

Code: Select all

var g_digitalFont           = false;

It may be that Cumulus saves the file as ANSI

For writing out "processed" files, it uses the standard Pascal I/O functions (Rewrite etc) so I suspect that probably does use ANSI encoding.

[mcrossley]

Ah! I see the problem, you are running Cumulus 1.9.1, the newer versions of the script require version 1.9.2. I did a post on Yet More Gauges thread about how to 'fix' gauges.js to work with version 1.9.1.

But basically around line 716, change:

Code: Select all

                then = eval("Date.UTC("+cumulus.timeUTC+")");

to

Code: Select all

                then = now;

[basman]

That was the problem, now everything is working normaly.
Thanks guys for the help

[mcrossley]

Glad to be of help - did you try the Greek forecasts again?

EDIT: I was wrong above, to change just the forecast/status to 'normal' text you need to change:

Code: Select all

var g_digitalForecast = false;

Hello Mark,
Would it be possible to increase the "Forecast" window size to accomodate the Davis Vantage Vue forecast as it overruns the current size?
Great work and many thanks,
Hal
