Hello!
I’ve recently repaired our observatory’s boltwood cloud sensor after a long hiatus, and am trying to re-integrate this into our weather systems.
We had originally had the boltwood set up so that WeatherDisplay would read the boltwood datafile and incorporate the sky temperature in the customclientraw.txt file.
Apparently some things changed on WeatherDisplay since we last had this working, as it no longer currently functions.
Here’s what I’ve found:
- I’ve set up the Boltwood on the Setup → Advanced/Misc Sttings
- Creation of customclientraw.txt file is configured on Control Panel → Web Files → Real Time Client FTP
Here’s what I’m seeing:
- [li]Cloud value IS being plotted on the graph on WeatherDisplay instead of indoor humidity (that’s good), although I can’t directly interpret the values printed on the graph, as they’re not a temperature.
[/li] - The sky temperature is being recorded as “255” on the custumclientraw.txt file, just as it was previously (without the working Boltwood attached).
I cannot remember how I configured exactly what was getting recorded in customclientraw.txt, or if that’s something that I manually configured at all. Since I can’t directly interpret the numbers that WeatherDisplay I can’t figure out how to verify that WeatherDisplay is properly reading the Boltwood data file, nor why it’s recording a limit value for the customclientraw.txt file.
Can anyone help?
Unfortunately, the custum
