Devoted a good portion of yesterday to getting weewx back into operation after a version upgrade took it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of that involved me figuring out (again) how to get the weewx extension working that creates the wxnow.txt file that Xastir uses to create and send APRS weather data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s an example of what Xastir was sending out: The error is “h05” as humidity is not 5%. The problem is that Xastir wants a two digit humidity data value and wxcn is sending a three digit value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In examining the old copy of wxcn.py I see the comments I placed in the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n # fields.append(“h%03d” % int(data[‘outHumidity’]))<\/p>\n\n\n\n # changing value “h%03d” to “h%02d”<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026 and the line now appears as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n fields.append(“h%02d” % int(data[‘outHumidity’]))<\/p>\n\n\n\n I updated these comments in the new version of this file as it appears in \/home\/weewx\/bin\/user\/cwxn.py<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the correction, here is what Xastir is now beaconing: Now the humidity is given as “h59” instead of “h05”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am pretty sure that this concludes all the tweaks and fixes I had to make to get weewx working with Xastir to work properly. Time will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A break down of the Xastir\/APRS weather data string: @071426z – “07” is the calendar day, “1426z” is the time Once again I am plagued by a failure to document problems I encountered and figured out.
