CWOP placefiles not showing my station.. again
« on: October 08, 2015, 10:43:57 AM »
I was having a problem on my GRLevel3 not showing my station on the map using the CWOP placefile.

Looking at the raw data from both my station and a nearby one that was working OK, I noticed that the uploads from meteohub were always using CWOP-2.

The nearby station that was showing up OK was rotating across the APRS servers.

I noticed in the meteobridge network setting that there was an APRS upload option that allowed setting the server name and port. I used cwop.aprs.net:14580 and my station started showing up in the placefile and hence the map.

Is there an option to change the server in meteohub? Even if I need to change a configuration file (I know my way around Linux), it would be OK.

Can't help I'm using the WilmingtonWx placefile and it stopped working about a month ago.

Greg,

If you've been trying to use my placefile, give it another shot and see if it shows up. MesoWest recently updated their API and it took me a little longer than I would've liked to update my placefile accordingly. However, to make up for this delay, I'm now adding additional capability including dew-point and wind barb display capabilities to the placefile. For now though, the default is temperature and everything is working fine.

Actually, I was using the Allisonhouse placefiles for CWOP. The problem has something to do with CWOP-2 and the data feed to AH. I found that my switching my CWOP upload over to meteobridge and using the APRS upload option instead of the CWOP, I was able to put in the cwop.aprs.net:14580 entry. This results in the servers being rotated and working around the CWOP-2 feed issue.

I've always used APRS on Cumulus, didn't know of other options.
