Weather34 & original dashboard Wind Gust problem

[WeatherSpares]

Hi, I've searched for forum and cannot find an answer so must ask for help.

Meteobridge NANO SD version 5.3 (Feb 8 2022, build 4099) in use.

Every day thee Weather34 and original templates record a maximum wind gust. The time of the gust is never updated on the dashboards. I have emailed the original Weather34 dashboard developer (Brian) who has retired from development and he was kind enough to say that this comes from MBREALTIMEUPLOAD.txt generated by the NANO.

Would anyone be able to help resolve this, two images showing a daily graph and non-updated template time are attached. The time stamp for a gust at 3:08am is well below gusts later in the day.

Thanks in advance

Looking at the graph the peak gust seems to be ~17:00. The Max gust time on the template is showing as 03:08. As the template gets all it data from the Meteobridge NanoSD then it can only be a timezone setting thats different between the Meteobridge NanoSD and the template.

You'll have to look at your Weather34 template console settings to see what timezone is set and check that against the NanoSD.

Not sure where in the world your anemometer is situated but it definitely in a windy spot with Gale force winds being recorded.

Note: If your timezones are the same on both platforms then it's possibly a difference in the Weather34 API. Your W34 template, from the image provided, does not look to be the very latest Aurora MkII and you are at a recent NanoSD code level. The last release of the Weather34 template was stored somewhere on this forum but I dont have access to the links for you to upgrade to the latest Weather34 template.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply. It was during a particularly gusty UK day, the anemometer is very exposed. The timezones on both match and once one gust is recorded the gust time never changes.

I'll see if I can find the Aurora MkII and instructions for getting this onto the NANO SD, currently the template is V9.34 in the bottom right corner of the screen.

I think that being on an old verson of the template, with a newer version of the API from the NanoSD, might be causing you some issues with certain fields which will have changed in the NanoSD to support newer Weather34 data fields.

Hopefully you'll find the files and do an upgrade. The last version Brian produced was excellent with four different/contrasting displays to choose from.

I've managed to find the list of API fields in a 9.34 and the last Aurora.

The winddmaxtime comes from field 33 and winddmax in field 32 in v9.34 but are fields 31 and 32 respectively in Aurora MkII. Field 33 is not used in the latest version.

Thus a small fix you could try would be to make a small change in your copy of livedata.php.

In livedata.php find the line (line 323 in my file) that looks like this:

Code: Select all

	$originalDate11 = $meteobridgeapi[33];

and change it to look like:

Code: Select all

	$originalDate11 = $meteobridgeapi[31];

You should, of course, make a backup of your livedata.php file first just in case anthing goes wrong.

This small change will correct that one field to be consistent with what the NanoSD is outputting. There are a few other changes in the output from the NanoSD that you may not have noticed or may not be relevant to how you're using the template and for which the upgrade would be the ideal resolution.
