Cumulus Support

Got it working now! Many thanks, Steve.

After reading the threads about overlay, it seemed pretty simple to set up. I cannot get Cumulus to update the remote file. This is what I've done:
Created text file in notepad named temperatureT.txt containing the following:

Temperature: <#temp> F Wind: <#currentwdir> at <#wspeed> mph Gust: <#wgust> mph Pressure: <#press> in. <#presstrendenglish>

Placed the file in C:\Cumulus\web

In Internet Settings, local filename=C:\Cumulus\web\temperatureT.txt

Remote filename=C:\Users\Stan\Documents\{temperature}.txt (for testing only)

Ideally, I want the remote file location to be \\Workshop\c\Users\Stan\.yawcam\extravars\{temperature}.txt, the network pc where Yawcam is running.

Cumulus is creating the file temperatureT.txttmp and the contents are correct:
Temperature: 37.5 F Wind: W at 9 mph Gust: 20 mph Pressure: 29.599 in. Falling
Am I missing something obvious?

Any help is welcome.

You've ticked 'ftp', but the file is supposed to be copied locally.

Ooops. Thank you.

Searched the forum but could not find an answer. Is there a way to include the degree symbol in the overlay? Or any symbol for that matter.

If you put a degree symbol into the template file, it should come through into the {temperature}.txt file; I've just tried it and it works for me. I can't speak for what Yawcam will do with it.

It's possible. I'm using one in my overlay with Yawcam.

Got it done. Thanks.
