Support for SteelSeries gauges

[JohnR]

Steelseries gauges look great with Cumulus. WeatherDisplay now has the ability to create a custom clientraw.txt file to support these gauges:

http://www.hetweerinruinen.nl/steelseries-gaugs-for-wd

http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index. ... 749.0.html

and it would be great for Meteohub to generate the same file to support the gauges.

shows them in use.

BR,

Excellent proposal!

+1 from me as well!

well, where´s the problem?
You only need to create a file stamping the variables the syntax of steelseries demands into and upload it every minute.

That all should be a task taking not longer than 30 minutes.

Well, I'm certainly not afraid of work but honestly I'm not sure how to do this. Any hints where this is described in the manual?

Steel Gauges provides a customclientrawlocal.txt and I don't know how I can use this template to convince Meteohub writing a corresponding output file.

Any help highly appreciated! Thanks

I would love to see the SteelSeries Gauges supported in Meteohub. Surely if Meteohub can generate the different clientraw.txt, clientdaily.txt, and so on files, then it should be possible to create the customclientrawlocal.txt file that can be read by SteelSeries Guages?

As is already mentioned in this topic, it is a small investment in your own time, probably half an hour to make the html file so Meteohub can process it. The problem is that the Steelseries are in continuous developement and one can not expect for instance a programmer of a weather program to frequently update his program because other programs are changing their needed files. So you either have to make the html input file for Meteohub yourself or lend it from someone else. And make the changes yourself for new releases of the Steelseries scripts.
I enclose version 8, more or less, of the needed input file for Meteohub.
1. You can adapt that file easily if you want to use it with another verson.
2. You also have to adapt if you want to change the units (inch or mm for instance).
3. You have to set in Meteohub the upload frequency and the name of the file after upload.
4. You have to set in the Steelseries scripts the name and the location of the uploaded file if you do not use the defaults. Be aware that Meteohub only uploads to one location for all files.
5. Be aware that the Steelseries scripts do not support Meteohub so you have to find a solution for the graphs also
If you want to see the script in action:

I hope this file gives you a headstart and much succes with adapting it to your needs,

Many thanks. What I had not realised is that you can load your own html file to the Meteohub and this can then generate the data for my graphs. Now I can see that you can upload a custom file I should be able to make my own as I see yours is based on version 8 and the latest SteelSeries is now version 10. So I need to work on the necessary html. As you say it should not take long.
Thanks, Peter

I have managed to get the scripts going now.http://www.g3zss.com/gauges-ss-basic.htm
There is still work to be done. Do you know if it is possible for Meteohub to generate the required data for "WindRoseData" and "windrun"? To get the scripts going on my website I substituted the value "1" as the data for these two variables, but would like to know the real values if they exist? What does "windrun" mean?

From http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=9425
Wind run is a meteorological term used to categorize or determine the total distance (or amount) of the traveled wind over a period of time, calculated by multiplying the wind speed (or average wind speed) by the measurement period. The measurement period is assumed to be the number of hours since midnight unless otherwise stated. As an example, if the wind speed was a constant 10 miles per hour for three hours, the wind run would equal 30 miles.

I do not think it is easy to get the windrose and windrun data.
As long as there is no data you can always switch off those gauges. Not all of them are always used. When one has no UV or solar one can set those gauges not to be displayed.
