I always wanted a live version of the Steel Series Gauges from Gerrit Grunwald and Mark Crossley. My Davis Vantage Pro2 is read by two weewx drivers, vantage and meteostick, and both drivers emit loop packets each 2.5 seconds.
My first attempt was to use the MesoWX package to fill on the webserver two MySql tables, one with archive data and the other with loop data. After a loop packet is received a self-writen routine calculates the data for the Steel Series Gauges with both archive and loop data. The data is written to a file and the Steel Series Gauges use this file for presentation. At first I used the Weather Display data lay-out, later when it became available, I used the weewx steelseries skin and data format. An extra complication was the introduction of weewx version 3.0 because the MesoWX uploader program 'sync.py' wasn't working anymore, so I had to fix that as well. Finally all programs worked smoothly together, see the results at my website: http://www.lucdesign.nl/gauges-ss/gauges-ss.htm Nowadays live became a lot simpler with the introduction of meteotemplate version 12.0 Orange and the new weewx-meteotemplate uploader. I have configured the uploader to use loop packets and configured in meteotemplate the steelSeries plugin to accept input via the api. The other configuration settings in meteotemplate control the lay-out of the gauges. I'm very pleased with the output and in the near future I probably will delete the Mesowx version from my website. The live meteotemplate Steel Series Gauges can be seen here: http://www.lucdesign.nl/template/plugins/steelSeries/index.php Or on my home page lucdesign.nl with the (desktop) menu choise: Weather station | Live | Gauges Have fun !
