Steamgauges code

Andy Brown — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 19:07:53 -0000

Hi, I understand that you will not be doing any further development on this system in the near future. There are a couple of things I'd like to add to the steamgauges but, having looked through the files, can't follow how you are doing things.
If possible could you explain how the steamgauges work.

One in particular is the UV Index for which I've created a 0-15 scale but don't know how to impliment it.

Any help you could give would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Andy

I seems that the Sysinfo file overwrote the crash data, this is attached

5.6.0.0 crashes on start

Grace Nodes — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 18:27:14 -0000

I had a minor system startup hiccup today, now WxLogger won't start, the crash report is attached, looks like a few settings have been corrupted, but I have no idea what or where. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling to no effect. System data attached. Is priority 1 high or low?

"Unhandled Exception Error"

Andy Brown — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 12:46:25 -0000

System was working fine until my ISP went bust. The system was FTP'ing readings my web site (which no longer exists) on the ISP.

Now, when I select "Internet options" from the "Tools" menu I get the "Unhandled Exception" error message. I assume it's because the FTP site no longer exists.

Is there a config file somewhere that I can remove the upload lines from to get the local display working again ?

Cheers,

Andy

FTP stops

Andy Brown — Sun, 19 Jun 2022 16:47:17 -0000

Hi,
After a period of use for 5 or 6 days the FTP of the data to my website stops working. If I shut down WSDL and open it again the FTP starts again. I am currently shutting the program down and restarting it every 4 days and have been doing this for the last month with no issues.

The FTP count each time it stops is different.

Is there some limit on how many times the program can FTP ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Andy

#7 Gauge scale

Hi,

I thought I may be able to help a little with this by making a scale PNG file for you.

See attached.

Gauge scale

Andy Brown — Sat, 21 May 2022 13:01:14 -0000

Hi,
Is it possible to include a 0 to 15 scale for the gauges ? This is the correct range for the UV index ?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

#6 USB dropout

Damn!!! I spoke to soon!
It dropped the USB again last night.

#6 USB dropout

Andy Brown — Thu, 07 Apr 2022 16:14:51 -0000

Hi,
Just to give a bit of feedback.

I dug out a 5v wall adapter for a Raspberry Pi and plugged it in to the Arduino. That's over a week and no dropout of USB.

I did notice that all 4 temperature sensor graphs during this period were very "jaggy" where they had been smooth before.

I think it may have been a bit of a clash between the adapter power and the PC power via the USB cable. I put a small piece of insulating tape over the +5v pin on the USB cable and the graphs are back to normal.

Thanks for your help ans suggestions.

Cheers,

Andy

#6 USB dropout

Hi,
Thanks for the reply and suggestions.

I'm pretty sure the USB cable is OK (had used it for a while on another project) but hadn't thought of the PSU. I'll try that.

Thanks again,

Andy
