I am new to trying this template, so please bear with my new user questions. I have gone through the various instruction sheets (thank you for the details for WD setup) and have a couple questions.
#1–I have registered for the Dark Sky key and inserted it. I see from there site that a 1000 queries per month are free. How many does this program request? One/hour? Is there a frequency to select so I don’t get billed?
#2–I have in the upper right corner a “Current Conditions” Block the third over. Right now it is linked to Brussels, and yet I have entered as my nearest airport the KEAU which I not only got from other sources and knew was accurate, but also was the one presented when I searched the link for the nearest airport designation.
Is there some way to update that block so it doesn’t reflect what the conditions are at Brussels?
#3–One of the users of this template directed me to investigate this template when I asked in the Weather-Watch forum if there were a command string for custom text output from Weather Display to include the sun elevation and azimuth, among the numerous other data points Brian Hamilton provides through that program. He said as of now, there isn’t a command to output those values, and a user said that Weather34 does indicate the real time elevation and azimuth for the sun.
Indeed it does, and I assume the program generates those values based on my latitude, longitude and time. But seeing them on the screen and getting those numbers to use in other things that I want to do are two different things. Is there an ‘output’ available from Weather34 to read those numbers for use in other programs? Is there a matrix or database that can be read by other software to extract those numbers, or does the template just generate and display them in that block?
Thank you and it is a very fun and solid program to deal with, even with my inexperience.
