Weather Display to export data.csv = no VitualVP

I will work on this tomorrow :wink:

what update rate is needed?

actually WD already has this ability
see under setup, advanced/misc
tick to create a VWS data.csv file

Wow, some how missed that option! :smiley: That’s great its already in WD! thanks

But I do have the month and year rain option checked and WD doesn’t seem to include it. VWS’s data.csv file has 41 fields and the WD generated has 39! I wonder if this will matter? But VWS will expect Yearly Rain in field 41.
Can you investigate that? thanks for your time with this!

Attached is a file with a “top-bottom” copy of both files if that helps:


wdvws-csvfile.txt (392 Bytes)

Sorry, mistake in previous post… there is an option to include month and year rain!

(corrected original post)

Hi
use this new update
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/weatherdisplaytest.zip

Thank you, I have it running and VWS seems to like it! :smiley: I will try for a few days and let you know.

Just to report back… I have had this configuration running for more than 3 days now and it is working well. I had to reset VWS rain total after the change to Stationless. But yea I’m glad to finally not have to rely on VirtualVP.

Thanks Brian!!! Your help and continuous development on Weather Display is very much appreciated!!! :smiley:

someone else was needing this, but it looks like I need to add the same to end of the data2.csv file, yes?

Well for the “Stationless” setting it only requires one file. If I remember the data.csv is the native units and the data2.csv is for converted units. I could be incorrect on this.

FWIW here is the VWS manual: http://site.ambientweatherstore.com/vws/vwsmanual.PDF

its used for image salsa
i have added that missing data now to the latest update

Rapt I got VWS going using WD. Now just wainting to see if the rain works ok

Hello:

I use virtual vp with wd and vws and I would like know if I can connect vws to receive data of weatherdisplay and the I can upgrade the vantage pro 2 firmware 3.00 and not the actual 1.90.

Can I make this of this topic? csv file.

Thanks.

you can set WD to create the VWS CSV data files
see in the misc setup to set that (Program tab, half way down)

Weatherdisplay creates data.csv, data2.csv and daily.csv but which I must choose for vws?

I can’t help you with that sorry but maybe someone else can or maybe google it?

Thanks at all and Brian.

Hi Brian,

sorry to dig up such and ancient post, but noticed that WD is producing these data.csv file with a version of 1.00 when it should be 1.01

I’ve been using the pretty ancient ImageSalsa for many years, and it suddenly couldn’t read the data in quite a few versions ago, so tonight I had a bit of a fiddle and simply changed the first field of the data.csv from 1.00 to 1.01 and it all started to work again.

that was an easy change
use the latest .zip update of WD

Thanks Brian, that’s fixed it up for me.

Really wish I had’ve researched this issue I was having a bit better, so that I could let you know about it, rather than simply saying “it stopped working” !! :slight_smile:
