WDL V6 - experiences?

Post by admin »

Does someone here has experience with WDL v6? Is it working ok?

Up to now I just tested Meteohub with the v5 basic version of WDL, which finally seems to work quite well together with Meteohub.

I'm new to Meteohub and WDL and only have been up and running for a few weeks now... But after working through a few issues thanks to the help of other boarders - everything seems to be working well for me in WDL 6.02 except for rainfall records and had a few issues with updatings....but we don't get much rain in Denver, CO though....

Here is my site...

I updated to WDL 6 a few weeks ago and have had no problems outside those already reported for version 5. For me, WDL 6 is more about having a new configurator programme for setting out your webpage.

PS. Any chance of a fix to the date format to include the year info.

I've been playing with the WDLconfigurator and still get the UNDEFINED year error in the date. My WDLconfig.xml does include:
<dateFormat>dd/mm/yyyy</dateFormat>
Something is still not right with the "year" info in clientraw.txt?

yep, strange.
The only difference I´m seeing with my configuration:
I do not have a stationname entered in meteohub with the WD Live config tab and therefore no name does appear in WDL´s applet right of time and date.

Could that be a reason?

I have been using WDL 6 but do not own a MeteoHub. I have not had any major issues with it. Ok, so I am using WeatherDisplay while testing it, but my intention is to get the 'next' MeteoHub when it becomes available. There seems very little point in buying an NSLU2 right now.

Hello.

The new meteohub is already awailable to buy:
http://www.meteohub.de/joomla/index.php ... nguage=eng

Are there also some other costumers that want to order the thing? I would like to - directly from Northec but they want to charge me the shipping for $94. That's quite much... I am looking at the model with 1Gb ram... In germany u can order just the 512 Mb version... And if I buy it, I want the latest (1Gb).

Cheers!
PS the mail:
