Weather34 Aurora Version(english supported only)

[jasonmfarrow]

Cheers Brian.

There was no intention to ask for a change. Just spotted something in the file. My fault for not checking the website API list

[weatherist34]

im talking aloud in general ,nothing personal.. thought id raise it before it begins

the api has a lot of leftovers from early 2017 version so it really needs a good clean but its very prone to error and easy to miss things even a space in the wrong place or a missing space will completely break it

i use a few cheap OEM 10” android non branded no thrills $40 tablets and a smart tv occasionally, i prefer the 55” smart tv view i get your point about a large font but needs some thought in how to make it intuitive and UI friendly without it becoming a mess in design and importantly manageable going forward .really trying to keep it manageable so the enthusiasm remains when it gets tedious and messy then my enthusiasm wanes quickly.

I fully understand, so please don't undertake this suggestion if it doesn't work for your roadmap or satisfy your enthusiasm.

Having said that, I had a couple of ideas that might work.

First -- perhaps there could be large font versions of the needed modules (like temperature mod.php). Big temperature text and little else, same module dimensions, so that it could be used in the current template.If we had that, I'd simply create another instance of Weather34 with those modules selected and zoom to a 2x2 grid on the tablet.

Second -- and I understand if this might make things unmanageable -- would be to have a new 2x3 template for those modules to be placed into.

Anyway, they're just ideas, so I'm not going to be offended if they never happen.

As always putting thought into it and make it universal by options as opposed to hardcoding which never benefits everyone and updates will always override your hardcoded methods .so here is what I have done 32px is the max before it breaks out of module especially summer temperatures in non metric of 100+ so 32px is the maximum safe size .You can also choose between a bold font or standard .
I will release this sometime on Sunday , 26px is the default appearance . thats best I can do without it becoming a mess .purely optional no forced.

obviously new settings needs to be applied to use or just defaults to 26px non bold. Brian

font size options was added to the simple update file .

you now have 5 font sizes 24px 26px 28px 30px 32px to choose from
also font weight of using bold .

personally 24px with a bold weight works for me across devices . 32px to big for me but its your choice to use any size available I suggest experiment .

* Adds font-size and weight option to setup screen (3:16pm).
* Requires new setup font size option to be set (3:16pm).
* Important update requires Meteobridge Reboot (22nd January).

* Please always do a backup before running update
* Go here for Simple Guide to using update and backup feature

Hi Brian,

I like the font option. There is a small bug in barometer-mod.php & barometer-modmmHG. at line 60 which is preventing the font options from working here:

Code: Select all

<div class="button-dial-label" style="font-family:<?php if ($fontweight=="yes"){echo "weathertext2";}else echo "weathertext3";?>;font-size:<?php echo $fontsize?>px;">       
<?php // indicator color
echo '<div class="text2b">'.$weather["barometer"].'</div>';
?>
</div></div><div>

The text2b div needs to be removed:

Code: Select all

<div class="button-dial-label" style="font-family:<?php if ($fontweight=="yes"){echo "weathertext2";}else echo "weathertext3";?>;font-size:<?php echo $fontsize?>px;">       
<?php // indicator color
echo $weather["barometer"];
?>
</div></div><div>

answered in the wrong thread must be the side effect of the vaccine

@jason no bug i left in there as Im removing the 32px it looks oversized ,32px will break very close to the width of the actual enclosed box in the barometer area . sorry not at home at present so i cant demonstrate

[jasonmfarrow]

Brian, I chose 30pt/Normal and the barometer module did look full. I can easily imagine 32pt/Bold would break it.

Ps. You've had a vaccine? No extra heads grown? No controlling signals penetrating your brain? No modded RNA? Sounds like good science at work. Excellent. Minor symptoms are expected as the body deals with the pretend invader.

Hi Brian,

I noticed that Meteobridge has incorporated direct support for Luftdaten sensors after the last reboot/update. As you see in the attached images, the Luftdaten can be added as a station and its data shows in the "raw Data" and "Min/Max Data" screens of Meteobridge and hopefully it supports adding the sensor data to the "MBrealtimeupload.txt" file too.

I'm wondering if you were aware of Luftdaten support in Meteobridge, and if you plan to support this in the future.

Thank much.

[weatherist34]

Luftdaten is not supported directly via Meteobridge as such ! . Only Davis Air Quality is supported direct via Meteobridge . Luftdaten has been available in template via its API for a few years .
However there are those that realized you can assign Luftdaten AQI as you would a Davis Airlink only thing is you would see a Davis logo. May be easy setup support in the future but not anytime soon.

Brian, problem in gustmod.php - winddmax is not pulling through (although winddmaxtime is). (MkII, gustmod.php and livedata.php both updated as of 24th Jan)

Winddmax is showing up correctly in Aurora MK1 and both use the same input directly from the meteobridge.

[weatherist34]

Hi Jason it was mentioned this morning so the simple update should resolve that .

* Adds various non metric fallbacks in charts Ref D White (7:49pm).
* Reduce max font size in setup (7:49pm).
* Fix missing wind max Ref David/Jason (7:49pm).

Hi Brian, thanks for your amazin job!!

I have updated to the new auora version and everything goes well now, but the template says "Updated: 51 years". I have read here that the problem is something with the https or ssl, but I tried changing the url to MBrealtimeupload.txt but nothing changed. What can I do?

PD: Is there a way to put the windy radar in one of the console boxes?? And will it have a box with recent earthquakes?? I'm missing this.

Thank you so much!!

[jasonmfarrow]

Brian, is it safe to presume that Aurora MkI is now a static release with no further development or fixes?

The winddmaxtime bug, recently fixed in MKII, still exists in MKI.

I realise that I'm probably one of very, very few who still have both MKI and MKII in active use and that I may have to bow to the inevitable if I want to stay current,

Regards
