Editing <#txbattery>

[krmidas]

The webtag for Davis transmitter battery status outputs a piece of text that gives the status of all 8 possible transmitters. Anyone know how can I edit this so it only displays the status of the first 2?

Can you post an example of the string this tag outputs?

Here you are Mark. Scroll down to the bottom. http://www.cheadlehulmeweather.co.uk/system.htm

Code: Select all

TX Battery Status: 1-ok 2-ok 3-ok 4-ok 5-ok 6-ok 7-ok 8-ok

It displays "ok" for transmitters which are missing, or are present with good batteries. I can't remember what it displays if a particular battery is low, possibly the string "LOW" instead of "ok".

Something like....?

Code: Select all

var val= "<#txbattery>".split(/\d-([a-z]+)/i);

//then...
//val[1] is status of battery #1
//val[3] is status of battery #2
//val[5] is status of battery #3
//val[7] is status of battery #4
//val[9] is status of battery #5
//etc

A bit messy, you could clean it up with two statements, or think of a more clever version!

Excuse my ignorance, but does that entire string (customized for the transmitters I want to track--namely #1 and #2) replace the webtag?

I've added a 'channel' parameter to the <#txbattery> web tag, could you try it, please? It's just the cumulus.exe, zipped up: http://nybbles.co.uk/downloads/Cumulus.zip

Just extract the cumulus.exe file into your existing installation of 1.9.3

Use it like this:

<#txbattery channel=1>

to get the relevant string for channel 1, and so on, up to channel=8. The result is just the string "ok" or whatever the string is for a low battery.

That seems to work okay Steve. I have two transmitters, one for the ISS and another for the anemometer. I presume the ISS is 1 and the ane no 2?

Thanks.

It would depend on what you've set them to on the dip switches, they could be either way around.

This sounds great. I'll try it out when I'm home tonight!

Many thanks.

I think from memory the ISS is 1 and the anemometer tx 2 but I will check.

Worked like a charm! Thanks for that lightning quick enhancement!
