Specifications on WU Upload?
« on: November 16, 2008, 11:50:54 AM »
I have a Campbell Scientific CR1000 Datalogger that I'm using to collect weather.
I've programmed it to upload basic parameters to WU but I want to add to the upload.
Does anyone know:
How often should I upload? Currently I'm sending the data 1/minute.
Should the data be instantaneous or averages?
I can do all kinds of calculations for Gust and such but how is the gust calculated? Per the NWS Gust algorithm?

I'd also like to know if anyone has info on the data feed from some of the other home style weather stations, like Davis and such.
I'd like to program the logger to feed data into some of the other data display software that I've seen on some of your outstanding web pages.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hardware : Campbell Scientific CR1000 Data Logger with NL115 Ethernet
Sensors: RM Young Wind Sentry, Vaisala Temp/RH Sensor, Vaisala Pressure Sensor, Texas Electronics Rainfall Sensor

Here are the spec for the URL:

I do support the Campbell Scientific that you are using. This requires a specific file format. Let me know if you are interested. You can email me at wuhu_software at yahoo.com.

Thanks, I had that URL and used that write the program to upload to WU.
It's working fine, I just can't seem to get an answer as to how often I should send the data.
If I send every 5 minutes, should it be 5 minute averages?
WU won't answer the question either.

WU won't answer the question either.

As far as WU goes, only the wind speeds are averaged.

windspdmph_avg2m  - [mph 2 minute average wind speed mph]
winddir_avg2m - [0-360 2 minute average wind direction]

gust is the highest speed seen in the past 10 mins across all readings.

The rest of the variables are "instantaneous" or the current readings regardless of how fast you are sending in the data.

Hi,

I would like to know what specific file format i should use to have my cr1000 .dat file to work with Wuhu.

Hi,

I already have a .dat file i made with loggernet.
I just need to know how i can get Wuhu to read the .dat file.

You use an HTTP GET.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried some files from the wuhu Yahoo website, but cant get it to work unfortunately.
I got the message in wuhu: "cr1000 records file read error. # of fields was 1. Only two formats are supported, one has 27 fields, the other 40. Contact Wuhu at ......"

Here is the actual .dat file from the wuhu website:
