Hi Boris,

Would you consider adding the Meteotemplate API to Meteohub? I think you already have it in Meteobridge.

Thank you.

I moved my MH to a new platform and flash, cloning from the old flash. The "rounds" counter retains the value from the old CF. How do I reset the counter for the new CF?

Thanks.

I have run FTP backups successfully for years. See my post here on my scripts:

I discussed my solution here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9667

Based on previous posts I was convinced that new operational errors were caused by failure of my expensive SLC flash after 270 rounds, and I needed to replace it. Not so sure about that now. I share the following experience in case you have a perplexing new operational issue with MH that you cannot ...

Boris,

I changed my Weather Underground password to the following (don't worry, it isn't current): qZZ#8YzHar!dDr

This was accepted by my WU web UI login, but neither of my 2 MH boxes would update WU despite entering the PW 3 times into MH and Saving the settings.

Subsequently I changed the PW ...

If you have knowledge of Linux, you should now how this all works. If you are not familiar, I suggest that you not attempt it. Boris will kill you (and maybe me) if you mess up his program.

No doubt there are better ways to do this. However, this works perfect for me for rapid fire upload to my web page, and automated backups.

Here is the cron job:
## Start section by James McAfee
# rapid fire upload of clientraw; each cycle takes about 10 seconds
* * * * * root /data/scripts ...

OK, plowed through a bunch of older updates. The crontab in /etc/cron.d survives. Hope this will persist.

I restored the crontab to your default installation config.

The custom jobs in /etc/cron.d, including rapid fire to my web site, seem to function just fine.

Boris, I would like to know how the cron.d jobs will survive an update. Thanks.

Is it better putting a script in /etc/boot for the real time rapid fire updates?

I also run a cron job for weekly backups. Any advantage to use /etc/cron.* rather than crontab?

Thanks.

Hi Boris. The FW ver and LOOP2 packets are read successfully (it required a bugfix by you that I pointed out a year or so ago). But it never made any difference in the significant discrepancy in the SLP.

Boris,

There still is an issue of SLP reporting from a VP2. Your SLP calculation differs slightly from Davis based on a publication of the Davis formula applied to the raw baro when the station is located significantly above sea level. But the difference is not enough to explain the big and ...

Hi Boris,

I added a custom job to crontab that builds and uploads a clientraw.txt rapid fire update to my web server every 10 seconds. Do your minor rev updates ever overwrite crontab such that I would have to re-enter the job command?

Thanks.

MH 4.9u b6962. Applied a Restore Settings, but the applied time zone was set to Berlin (not my local). Not a big deal; I would think that the TZ should be a member of the config set.
