Replacement for Flash realtime gauges?

Post by DanielF »

Forgive me if this question has already been answered – I did a search for realtime flash but didn't find the answer...

Given that both Flash and Silverlight are being phased-out by their respective developers, has anyone developed an alternative for the Cumulus realtime gauges, using HTML5?

I'm especially keen to get a replacement since Flash is not supported on most Android phones, so I can't see my website's realtime gauges on my A-phone! :(

[I'm running Cumulus 1.9.2 on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 system, and Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) on my Galaxy Gio phone.] http://www.users.on.net/~idmills/gerroa-weather/

I don't think that's the case. Certainly not for Silverlight, anyway.

But in any case, here you go, hidden away with its own section in the forum ;) https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=21

They're really rather good.

Yeah, 'phased-out' was a poor choice of words. Probably I should have said that their developers are no longer developing those platforms, which means they will die a natural death as HTML5 takes hold. Certainly no-one in their right mind should be developing applications that depend on either of those two platforms.

Anyway, thanks for the link to the gauges-ss post. I've downloaded v1.6.6 and will try to install it when I have a bit more time.
