Tom and bell....
Just wanted to say that I have solved my problem (with ya'lls help_
I have created a service that will read the value of wind gust in from the
REC packet and write it out to the LOOP packet. I found this interesting s
the easiest way to access the packets is to be triggered by the packet
events. However, i could only access the packet that created the trigger.
So I created three things in the service
1) a shared value to be accessible to all functions within the service
2) a function that is triggered on the creation of a new archive data to
read the wind gust and place the value within the shared value
3) a function that is triggered by a new loop packet that then stores the
shared value into the LOOP packet
The first valid wind gust value occurs when the first archive interval has
completed. So there is a number of LOOP packets that have the value None
stored. After that first completed archive loop every loop will have a
valid wind gust value.
One word of warning is do not use the same name in the Loop packet for the
field as used in the REC packet.
So now I just need to make sure that my rain and lightning processing of
the Acurite Atlas data works!! but I need it to rain!!!!
