I Have already added a month rain gauge as proof of concept in a test setup, so I know it can be done
when you say got to get working first, what is the problem you are having exactly?

I tried to make the individual gauges as modular as I could to make this sort of thing easier. Glad you got it going.
I havenāt yet! Fancy doing the windgust one?
No time Iām afraid, I can provide pointers if you get stuck, but there are too many demands on my time as it is.
I can do it for you
Very kind, but right now Iād just settle for my FTP to start working properly again!
hello,
wich code must I copy for creating a windgustgauge and what must I change.
is there a sample of it?
I know nothing about javascripts, so for me isnāt so easy to do this.
Why isnāt yet a gauge for windgust?
Sorry for my bad English.
Greetings,
Bert
The wind gust is displayed on the wind gauge. The pointer is the current value, and the top of the red background sector shows the peak gust in the last 10 minutes (depends on your weather software config), and the red triangle shows the peak gust so far today. Iām not sure what is missing?
i tried to understand to get a seperate windgustgauge but i donāt no wich code i must copy and even what i must do too change before its working.
my question isā¦is there een easy way to get a windgustgauge and why doesnāt excist such gauge.
greetings,
Bert
Because I cannot see the need, what will it show that the wind speed gauge doesnāt? Just the peak gust value?
you could roll your own gaugeā¦to show what you wantā¦it is possibleā¦I have done that to show extra temperature etc
(there is an older thread about how to do that)
Agreed Brian, quite a few people have rolled their own. What Iād like to know is what data a āgustā gauge would show?
I think what he means is a current (gust) speed gauge as opposed to a average speed gauge
but that default windspeed gauge could be set to use a custom tag from WD that is the gust (current) speed data value anyway instead of the average speed
Ah! I didnāt realise that it was using the average speed for the pointer with WD. #-o
The intent was always to use the ālatestā instantaneous value - this is what I set it to do with Cumulus anyway. That is a simple change, it just needs a tweak to the tag file, and is something I will make to the released version. To save me looking it up What tag should I use to the latest wind speed value?
use
%gstspd% ā¦current/gust wind speed
instead of
%avgspd% ā¦average wind speed (current)
and yes a simple change for anyone ā¦just change %avgspd% to %gstspd% in the customclientrawlocal.txt in the WD clientrawlocation folder (e.g webfiles)
It may be worth to note that the quality of gust values varies depending on the brand/model of weather station.
OK, now Iām confused, having checked the source the gauge is already using %gstspd% for the pointer - as I thought it did all along! Hence my puzzlement at the requirement for a āGust gaugeā. #-o
I must have an older customclientrawlocal.txt file
could you email me your latest Mark?
maybe they just want a gauge to show the max gust of the day?
but that is shown as a marker on the windspeed gauge anyway
