[Xastir] weather data
I know this isn't a specific xastir only question, but I can't seem to post to the aprssig even with the new address. How can I get the weather data that I used ot get on firenet that doesn't appear to be there anymore since passcode only mode was was instituted? I don't see CWOP, METAR, or RAWS any more. -- Ryan Tourge - K2RRT ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
[Xastir] Weather Data stopped transmitting...?
My version 1.4.1 xastir has been up & running as a weather station for years - with occasional failures. A week ago it crashed (disk full from xsession-errors log of > 1 Gigabyte). After cleanup and restart, no weather data is transmitted. Weather data is viewable on xastir, and correct. If you ask for station info for my station on my station, you see all the correct weather information. But it just doesn't transmit that data any more. I've spent a week occasionally poking at it trying to figure out what broke, but no luck. Any clues as to where to look would be appreciated. I will just have to rebuild from the ground up again if I can't find the key issue... -- Bruce Bennett, KB8ROP - I prefer to call it 'Post-Sanity Enabled'. ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
Re: [Xastir] Weather data formats
Peet has some examples on their site and I can likely generate some later this week when I get a few minutes to play with a uWx board which uses the same format... gerry Tony Hunt wrote: Where can I get some info on the weather data stream formats for both the WX200 and the Peet Brothers serial streams ?

OR... place a web service request to a server somewhere, OR, an SQL request to a server. Personally I'd prefer the data to be stored locally. The data is already coming in to the computer via one of the interface connections. Also to mine from another source can only lead to heartache and grief down the line when the format changes. I vote for using the available information. At this point, I don't see that as a mouse-over service as that'd require some fairly hefty coding on the UI in Xastir. I could see it added to a right-click, with less work, however. I think my initial words were misleading. I was talking about the right-click menu (which in the program is called the "Mouse Pointer Menu" and can be also called up using the last option under the Map menu). Parsing it from logs is tedious and time-consuming. Believe me. I know. I think it would likely require a new log, perhaps one in just the format we need. Of course an indexed database would be quicker but would require some additional dependencies (berkeley db is already used for some other options, so perhaps that is the way to go). -- Chip ___ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
Re: [Xastir] Weather Data
Hmmm. TO do that, you'd have to cache or database all the data locally... OR... place a web service request to a server somewhere, OR, an SQL request to a server. I can look at the web service request angle but need to talk to some of my folks here.
