To close this one out, I purchased the Temp/Humidity sensor and all is

Re: [weewx-user] CWOP Updating Sporadically and no Baro

2020-05-03 Thread Burt Wizeman
Gjr80,

Do you have a humidity sensor?  I had a similair issue with the Barometer 
and learned that CWOP needs the humidity data as well to display the true 
barometer reading.  Humidity, temp and height all impact the barometer.  I 
believe that CWOP considers it altimeter.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Ultimeter 2100 WeeWx Behind Actual Rain Rain Rate is Actual Rain Total

2020-05-03 Thread Burt Wizeman
Good testimony of just how great a program WeeWx is by catching the gap and 
doing the calcs for MADIS and MW.  I am really impressed with this 
application.  Given the context of this application's complexity, this 
upgrade was spectacularly smooth.

I was wondering why CWOP did rain as they do and then I found this in the 
CWOP FAQ (added for knowledge collection)   

 The APRS weather format allows for three types of precipitation 
measurements to be coded into the data packet as discussed above. However, 
MADIS only accepts two of these, the rate (rxxx in hundredths of inches per 
hour) and the 24 hour precipitation (pxxx in hundredths of inches). So, if 
your data packet does not contain rxxx or pxxx, there are no rain data that 
can be forwarded to MADIS or MesoWest.
I
Also from the CWOP wx page for a given station is this text below the rain 
chart: (emphasis added)

"Rain displayed depends on what is being sent from the station, *may be 
cumulative, last hour, last 24 hours, or since midnight"*
 
So, as you pointed out, the data was not wrong. I am glad to have the 
option to put the current day's total up there.  

Thanks Tom,
Burt

[weewx-user] Instructions for Install Of Python 3.8 on Raspberry Pi3

2020-05-02 Thread Burt Wizeman
I have seen a couple of issues regarding the install of Python 3.  I found 
this site that worked without flaw for my install onto my Pi3+.  I like to 
do things step by step.  So if you have had some issues with the Python 
portion of your upgrade, check this site out.  Ia Pi3.
Following this install, the install of WeeWx Version 4 went without a 
hiccup.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Ultimeter 2100 WeeWx Behind Actual Rain Rain Rate is Actual Rain Total

2020-05-02 Thread Burt Wizeman
You are correct -  From weewxd after dumping some water into the bucket, 
the display reports .14 and in the output of weewxd  'daily_rain: 0.14' 
and  'rain_total 5.84' which was at 5.7 until I added the water for today's 
test.   I have attached the output.   So, is there a way for the hardware 
to directly send the data to the cwop and pws sentence, mapped 
appropriately, bypassing the calc?  Remember that both PWS and CWOP show 
the same rain.

BTW, I installed Version 4 with Python 3.8.  No hitches!

[weewx-user] Re: Ultimeter 2100 WeeWx Behind Actual Rain Rain Rate is Actual Rain Total

2020-04-30 Thread Burt Wizeman
Still looking into the rain.  To refresh the discussion, as of the moment 
of this writing, the Ultimeter is displaying .82 inches since midnight.  It 
is at midnight that the daily data is reset to 0.  Yet, WeeWx in Linux and 
CWOP show .53. 53 HEX is 82 Decimal!   What is happening is that the number 
53HEX is being sent from the Ultimeter data string which is Hex but 
displays .82 decimal on the display which is expected.  But what CWOP is 
getting is the HEX value of .53.  This is labeled as Rain last 24 hours 
0.53 inches 
So the driver is not converting the Hex 53 to the decimal equivalent, it is 
passing it through giving CWOP .53
I won't be able to look at the driver until Saturday.  Can you point me to 
the Ultimeter driver section for the function to convert data to Hex?

Thanks,
Burt

Also, Steve, does your 24 hour weather .69 agree with what the Ultimeter 
shows on the display?

Hope it works.  Your data is flying up to findu.   Regarding the humidity, 
I am going to get the temp/humidity sensor.  Cheapest way to go instead of 
coding it into a modified driver. 
You did register with CWOP, correct?

Thanks,

[weewx-user] Ultimeter 2100 WeeWx Behind Actual Rain Rain Rate is Actual Rain Total

2020-04-24 Thread Burt Wizeman
WeeWix is treating Rain Rate as the actual Rain Total for the day when 
running with the Ultimeter 2100.  Throughout this storm, the rain gauge 
data displayed on the Ultimeter has been quite a bit ahead of what WeeWix 
is generating both for CWOP and the WeeWx html pages.  Any idea why the 
lag?  I have purged all items before Epoch time, and verified the clock 
(ntp running at startup and refreshed periodically by software) any one 
have an idea?


Rain Rate 3.54 in/hr #Acutal Rain Total on Ultimeter 2100

Hey Steve,
Do you have this entry?

station =  #For instance, mine is K4SRQ as that is 
what is displayed on findu and CWOP related output.
post_interval = 300 #Number of seconds between posts.

[weewx-user] Re: Peet Bros Ultimeter 2100 - Humidity Pad

2020-04-21 Thread Burt Wizeman
Thanks Ralph,
In response to your suggestion I reset the 2100 and manually put in the 
barometric pressure for the area from our airport.  Still nothing.  The 
rest of the data flows but the barometer won't.  Without humidity, 
according to the info I have gathered, the correct pressure (altimeter) can 
not be calculated.  That is why I was wondering if I could snag the 
humidity from a Metar and supplant that in the string.  It will be some 
time before I can delve into the driver to do that but I was wondering if 
such input was in the works or if someone had a hack.

Thanks,
Burt

[weewx-user] Peet Bros Ultimeter 2100 - Humidity Pad

2020-04-19 Thread Burt Wizeman
Thanks for all the info in this group!  It has helped me with my weekend 
spent trying to debug some of the issues I ran into.   One of those issues 
was that no barometer was showing up at CWOP.  I have now learned that is 
due to the calc needing the humidity which I lack. I notice that Weather 
Display software in Windows provides CWOP with barometer so I assume that 
is pulling humidity from some source.  Is there a way to add a pad to the 
Ultimeter driver so it could be configured to grab humidity from another 
source so that the altimeter calc could be accomplished?  Any ideas?  
Trying to save the 110.00 for the meter.
