Steelseries Gauges for WD

I can add
%maxgustdirdeg%

When i tried to find the corresponding tags from cumulus to WD i invented that tag, because it was in the realtimegauges.txt file of Mark.
However until now i still didn’t find what it does. As far as i can see it is not used in the script.

Maybe Mark can tell?

The value is the bearing in degrees of today’s maximum gust. You are right, it isn’t used in the script currently - it is hang over from a previous attempt at a gauges page. But as it’s there I may as well use it, so the next release I’ll add it in to the wind speed pop-up box.

As the value will only used as text, you could equally well use an ordinal bearing value if it already exists.

Hi…

Does anybody know where the forecast text get’s it’s encoding from, i’m having problems with the danish special characters, but only in the forecast.

I had a great deal of problems with extended character encoding. As far as I can tell (and I tried numerous workarounds) extended character sets are not supported with ajax XMLHttpRequest objects (which is used to fetch the ccr file) - they always return an ASCII character set text body.

For Cumulus we worked around this by Steve providing a new tag <#forecastenc>, which html encodes all extended characters, the script then decodes this back to a standard UTF-8 string for display. Does WD provide a similar encoded tag?

Hi,

I have just created my own steel series at http://www.paulwilman.com/liveweather.htm. I have added a java script into my weather display live page that detects when you are on iPad or iPod etc and redirects you to the steel series rather than weather display live. Seems to work very smoothly. Check out http://www.paulwilman.com to see it in full display.

Steel series page needs a bit of work on formatting

FYI, when I open your page with my Android tablet, I get gauges rather than WD Live. I don’t
know if that’s what you intended, as it’s not an iPad.

Keith,

The JavaScript should only direct you to the steel dials if you are on an iPhone, iPad platform. Not sure why it is redirecting android tablets to? I tried it on my iMac and I wasn’t redirected…

Paul

Paul,

I just wanted to let you know that, for my Android tablet at least, the script is not doing what you want. I
have no idea why it doesn’t, as I know little to nothing about Java script.

hello, my name is weird I was only half works #-o

Neomanu16,

To get all the dials to work you need to go into control panel, web page setup, custom web page and unstick the box “include units” atbthe moment the units will be uploaded to customclientraw which confuses things. Be aware that this will remove the units from any tags uploaded to any custom web pages you have created.

Hope this helps

Paul

I will not put too much trouble

Is there a way to reverse the wind dial indicators?

So that the needle is current wind speed and the green bar is average wind speed.

Hi…

Is there a way to reverse the wind dial indicators?

So that the needle is current wind speed and the red bar is average wind speed.

Or mayby one more needle to show gust, like the wind dir gauge?

I have another question.

My rain rate of 10mm/h is getting pinned at 10mm (as I type this). My question is how to I change it to 100mm/h (for example).

I edited in the gauges.js line to
g_rrate.maxValue = 100;
but it is not changing the rain rate dial, it still remains a rainrate of 10mm/h.

The scale of the gauge has to scale automatically, did the rainrate go higher as 10mm/h?
As it it is lower as 10, it scales to 10, at 11 it scales to 20, at 21 it scales to 30 etc. (for mm) for inches 1.0/2.0/3.0 etc.

Jacco

Would seem mine did not scale…according to Wd it hit 65mm/h at one time today. I was looking at the Davis console and it was well over 10 mm/h. Yet the Steel Series remained pinned at 10 mm/h (no scaling).

I was thinking it should or would scale up…but it never happened.

I am running WD 10.37R Build 08. Is it possible that has something to do with it?

These gauges are great
is it possible to have the UV Gauge and Solar Gauge on the one page

Thanks
Trev

I am trying to validate the ccr file and produce a ‘definitive’ version, but I’ve hit a few problems that maybe someone can help me with…

Is there a tag for current temperature trend in text format - eg rising/falling/steady etc. ?

I thought the tag for the peak Beaufort gust speed (numeric) was %bftmaxgustlast24hrnu%, but is does not appear to work?

I had the tag for the direction of today’s maximum gust to be %maxgustdirdeg%, but again this does not appear to work?

Thanks for any help with this.

Mark

Mark,

Attached is the latest (I think - dated 14 Feb) tagslist.txt. Maybe this will help.
