To get oww working in the new wd, I was thinking of the following solution.
A saw that a few of the allready working weatherstations using some kind of file to read weather info.
If the layout is known, I think I can easy make a convertion tool to get the oww file transformed to the other format.
This tool can run via crond, and ready you are.
Even you can in oww-server recognise the format of the file so itās can be used to read by (like)an other weatherstation.
I like to use the new wd version (its a lot quicker)
Regards
let me see if I can get the oww functions working in the new linux version today
I just need to fire up my old linux box
also, what is the setting you set up to use the oww data in the old linux version?
ah, i think its the oww custom file in the stationless type setup in the weather station type setup
OK, i have the code from the old linux version, added this station type now to the new linux versionā¦
latest .zip update of the new compiler version now works with the oww custom file
(set and then select the file to use in the weather station type setup, stationless type setup)
Hi Brian, at the moment the new version of wd is running, and the weatherdata is popping up on the dials. Iām happy now.! This is realey quicker than I thougt.
Nice job !! Now you have an other Linux version where you can run wd on.
Itās debian etchā¦
Is there a way to import the settings from the old linux version, or even the windows version, like records and history?
Sorry I know this is an old topic, but I am currently writing my own code in python to read 1-wire sensors via owfs and output to a text file. I wanted to know what format Weather Display is expecting the file to be in, comma delimited i guess and column headers?
Brian is very willing to support users, but since you have 100% control of the file format IMHO it would be better to use one of the existing file formats that are already coded in WD than have him re-invent yet another wheel. For a simple dataset like that there is the āuniversalā file functionality. The format is in the universal.txt file in the Windows version, Iām not sure if it exists in linux (yet) but it is long established in Windows.
Description of the universal file input weather station type
Create a file with the following format, called datain38.ini (just 1 line of current data)
6.02 8.77 16.1 38 1010.2 0.0 215 15.8 21.5 58 200
i.e
6.02 Gust (current) speed (kts)
8.77 wind speed (kts)
16.1 Temperature (oC)
38 Humidity
1010.2 Barometer (hPa)
0.0 Daily rain
215 Wind direction
15.8 Soil temperature
21.5 indoor temperature (oC)
58 Indoor humidity
200 solar (WM/2)
Anyway, Iāll butt out now and let Brian take this
