APRS Data from Ultimeter 2100 (Raw Format Posted to findu.com)

Yes, it’s working! But it looks like there are some tweaks to make. Humitity is not working and it’s not picking up the Wind Gusts, it’s using wind gusts as the normal wind speed. Plus, something happed that is really strange on the Temperature? It jumped into the 70 degree range and didn’t get fixed until I restarted WD. http://nurcacwx.qrq.com Take a look at the findu.com data.

Here is the raw $ULTW data where the newest data is at the end of the page: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/rawwx.cgi?call=KE7CXV I think this is the URL you are using to get the data right?

Also, look at the data in a table form, where the newest data is at the top of the page: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wx.cgi?call=KE7CXV

You can see in the table format that you can get the wind speed and the gust. Here is a break down of some actual data:

KE7CXV>APRS,TRACE3-3,qAR,KD7GIZ-10:$ULTW005600B501F9000027DFFFFCC64E000102610040042900000041

Header $ULTW

Field #1 0056 = Wind Speed Peak over last 5 min. (reported as 0.1 kph increments) 56 hex = 86 decimal * .1 = 8.6 kph This wind gust speed over the last 5 minutes.

Field #2 00B5 Wind Direction of Wind Speed Peak (0-255) B5 = 181 Decimal.

Field #3 01F9 Current Outdoor Temp (reported as 0.1 deg F increments) i.e. 01F9 = 505 decimal * 0.1 = 50.5 deg F This appears to be working, but the display went goofy on my test site for some reason? http://nurcacwx.qrq.com

Field #4 0000 Rain Long Term Total (reported in 0.01 in. increments) 0.00 inches in this example

Field #5 27DF Current Barometer (reported in 0.1 mbar increments) 27DF= 10207 decimal = 1020.7, this looks good in WD now.

Field #6 FFFC Barometer Delta Value(reported in 0.1 mbar increments) Probably not used by WD?

Field #7 C64E Barometer Corr. Factor(LSW) Probably not used by WD?

Field #8 0001 Barometer Corr. Factor(MSW) Probably not used by WD?

Field #9 0261 Current Outdoor Humidity (reported in 0.1% increments) 0261 hex = 609 decimal * .1 = 60.9% (this is not working right now, see my site: http://nurcacwx.qrq.com)

Field #10 0040 Date (day of year since January 1) 58 decimal in this case… it was February 28th, 30 + 28 for Jan and Feb. Probably not used by WD?

Field #11 0429 Time (minute of day) 1295 in this case after conversion to decimal. Not used by WD?

Field #12 0000 Today’s Rain Total (reported as 0.01 inch increments)* 0.00 inches in this example (rain since midnight)

Field #13 0041 1 Minute Wind Speed Average (reported in 0.1kph increments) This is the Current Windspeed. 0041 dex = 65 decimal * .1 = 6.5 kph

I think it’s really close Brian! :slight_smile: Wind speed and wind gusts need to be fixed and the Humidity needs to be fixed.

How often are you polling for the data? Thanks again for working on this! :slight_smile:
