Davis/Meteo and LaCrosse users: I have once again hacked on Xastir's weather station code for Davis (with Meteo) and LaCrosse weather stations. My latest commit changes Xastir *AND* the "db2APRS" and "open2300db2APRS" support programs.
My prior commits to Xastir changed the Davis/LaCrosse code in Xastir to honor the data that was sent for 24-hour, 1-hour, and since-midnight rain information from the database programs, but in the process caused "total rain" in the "Own Weather Data" dialog to be blank if you were running one of these two weather stations. That's because neither of those db programs actually *sends* the total rain (rain since station reset), and prior to that commit what was really being displayed here was wrong. This new commit adds Total Rain to the output of the two database programs, and adds parsing code to the DAVISMETEO code block to handle it. It also adds computation of rain-since-midnight for LaCrosse stations, because those stations don't provide the information. The LaCrosse code has been tested, because that's the type of weather station I have. The Davis/Meteo code, however, has not been tested at all except to assure that the code compiles. If you have a Davis weather station and are running Meteo and db2APRS, AND you are running Xastir CVS, please do a CVS update, rebuild the db2APRS program and restart that daemon. Rebuild Xastir, and you should start seeing Total Rain populated properly, as well as the other bits of data. THIS COMMIT DOES NOT CHANGE Davis APRS Data Logger support. The Data Logger does not provide total rain and cannot be patched up to do so --- users of the APRS Data Logger will just have to live with a blank in the "Total Rain" box of Own Weather Data. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
