Ignore bad wind readings for La Crosse units
« on: February 16, 2010, 03:54:53 PM »
would it be possible to add the following feature to WD? (so that owners of a Lacrosse could run there station direct connected to WD without having those bad wind reading in there data)

This is from the manual for the WUHU software, http://www.lissproductions.org/wuhu_manual/

The La Crosse stations can suffer from bad wind speed readings. If you are running wireless, you may see these more often if the reception to the remote thermo is poor. Under the tweak screen, you can specify individual readings to ignore or you can place a maximum cap on the wind readings and ignore the famous 57 MPH bug.

You can now specify a wind speed and wind direction combination to ignore.

You might want to use this if your station were to randomly generate a bogus 57 mph due North reading. This feature allows you to say ignore specifically those readings.

In the under the Reject the Following Wind speed and gust readings as bad edit box where you specify wind speeds, for example:

57.0, 75.0, 114.1
You can then use the @ character to specify a wind direction using this format:

speed@direction -or- @direction
So lets say you want to ignore wind readings of 57 mph when the wind direction is 0, you would do:

57.0@0,75.0, 114.1
If you wanted to ignore all readings from 0 degrees north, regardless of wind speed, you would enter:

@0, 57.0,75.0, 114.1
All directions are + and - .5 degrees from what you specify, if you say 0.0, it means 359.5 to 0.5 (not that it matters on a La Crosse unit).

use the limits screen in WD to ignore a max windspeed threshold

WD just try to ignore this specific windspeed from the 2310 station too, but that is when using in direct mode
I had not added that to when reading the currdat.lst file, assumming that would have had this filtered out already

The bad windreadings from a La Crosse unit could from 22.8 and all the way up to 114.

so if it could be possible to specify the value in WD like in WUHU it would be great.

i dont see in your post above how whuhu is able to do that

if you are getting the currdat.lst file supplied from whuhu, then try setting whuhu to ignore the data so that it does not pass it on to WD?

I was thinking instead of having 2 program collecting weather data It would be better to just have 1, in this case WD

see attached picture how you tell WUHU to ignore some readings.

Could this be done?
