A couple of Twitter questions

SpireWeather · Post by **SpireWeather** » Wed 13 Jul 2011 11:14 am

I have set up a customised Twitter feed using tags which is working beautifully.

Two questions - I notice that wind speed & gust speed seems to always be rounded to ".0". This seems a waste of the 140 character limit - is there any way to display whole integers only?

Secondly can I control the time the uploads occur? They are currently set to upload every 120 minutes but at HH:43. Can I change the minutes to upload? Same applies to my web page uploads.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Set 'Round wind speeds' in the station settings (NB this affects the whole of Cumulus, not just Twitter)

No, sorry, Cumulus uses standard Windows repeating timers. They start when Cumulus starts (or when it's finished downloading logger data) and just repeat every N minutes after they start. Changing this to be more flexible is on my list of things to do; but it's a very long list.

OK, thanks for the reply Steve. I don't want to round throughout Cumulus so these are both things I can live with.

But you have a Davis station, so the wind speeds are always whole numbers anyway?

Ah, I hadn't noticed that (only installed it a couple if weeks ago) so ticking to round wind speeds should do the trick then?

Another small query, can solar data be omitted from the web pages? It seems unnecessary as I don't record solar data.

Thanks,

Simon

Yes.
