Setting wind direction to null when wind speed is zero is now done by the service StdWxCalculate. This way it is consistent across all drivers.
Option ignore_zero_wind turns this behavior on or off. The default is true, so I have no explanation for why your experience would be any different. (Unless, of course, for some reason you set it to false!) Try running weewxd from the command line and see what values you are getting for windDir when windSpeed is zero. -tk On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 8:48 AM, Steve2Q <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello: I did the upgrade to 3.5 from 3.2.1 Everything appears to be > functioning properly with one exception: There has been a change in the > appearance of my wind direction chart. > > This is how it looks now:[image: Hi Wind] > > Before the upgrade, when the windspeed =0, there were no dots plotted > (which is how I preferred it.
