[weewx-user] Moon phase & pyephem question

Hello. I have pyephem installed and Weewx shows "Last quarter" for today Feb 27, 2019 but it was yestarday (Feb 26, 2019). I guess it should be "Waning Crescent" for today. When does moon phases change? if i run: python -c "import weeutil.Moon;print weeutil.Moon.moon_phase(2019,2,27)" I get

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Second crash after 11 days

It started at about 4.4%, right? You know, I just noticed another difference: 0.11 closed the serial port after every read, whereas 0.2x opens it only once, then leaves it open for all reads. That makes me think there might be an issue with the hardware device driver. Can you check and see what

Re: [weewx-user] FTP error

Hard to say without seeing the log. (Always post a log!) One thing to try: remove the file #FTP.last in your HTML directory. That will force WeeWX to try to upload everything. But, without seeing the log there's no way of knowing if that's the problem. -tk On Wed, Feb 27, 2019 at 4:06 AM 'Ian

Re: [weewx-user] FTP error

Yes, it helps. You didn't request an FTP upload, so it wasn't done. To request uploads, you must fill out the section [[FTP]] in weewx.conf. As always, see the Users Guide . It also looks like you may have corrupt memory in your Vantage logger. It

Re: [weewx-user] Moon phase & pyephem question

Thanks Thomas for your answer. I knew that local time is involved somehow but I wasn't sure. By the time I wrote this, it was 11:31AM (-0300 UTC) and I didn't know when pyephem will calculate the right moon phase for today. On Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 4:08:39 PM UTC-3, Thomas Keffer

Re: [weewx-user] Moon phase & pyephem question

Tom, My understanding is that pyephem is now deprecated (though it will continue to be available and receive critical bug fixes). See https://rhodesmill.org/pyephem/. The original developer has a replacement package called skyfield (https://rhodesmill.org/skyfield/. He says it is only missing

Re: [weewx-user] Moon phase & pyephem question

Understood. In the meantime, I did try copying your new version of almanac.py into the bin/weewx directory on my testbed weewx (I copied moon.py into the bin/weeutil directory also, though I don't think that matters). I got the attached errors complaining about moon_phase_ts. Did I miss a file

Re: [weewx-user] Moon phase & pyephem question

You probably still have the old copy of weeutil/Moon.py. You need this one . Or, you accidentally put it in the weewx directory, instead of the weeutil directory. -tk On Wed, Feb 27, 2019 at 1:31 PM wrote: > Understood.

Re: [weewx-user] 3.91 new install ... Seasons skins... can't find where to override default label formats

Unless you assign your new types lakeElevation and lakeWaveheight to a unit group, they will be unknown to WeeWX, so it doesn't know how to format them. In that case, their unformatted, raw value will be used. You can either assign them to a unit group, or format them explicitly. The instructions

If that was good advice, it's too late, but thanks. This was working on a 3.62 just fine, I had followed Tom's guidance on adding three fields: lakeElevation, lakeWaveHeight, lightning. But I'm having a problem with a spot where I need to override default formatting. Phil On Wednesday,

Re: [weewx-user] Moon phase & pyephem question

Ah. Right you are. I had put it in the right place, but somehow, I ended up saving it as moon.py instead of Moon.py. I'm not sure how I did that, since I thought I copied it, name and all, from the GitHub repository. I renamed it (after removing the old Moon.py, which was still there) and all
