Website Project - A Work In Progress
« on: August 12, 2023, 10:30:54 PM »
Hi all,

Last week I had finally gotten around to moving webhosts from Wordpress.com to ICDSoft. After doing a little research it looked like quite a few people here used them. So far so good.

Here's the main landing page:

https://www.met-instruments-project.com/

There you can navigate to each part of the website. I tried to keep the layout simple yet effective.

And for probably my favorite part, a page for each station emulating the legacy ASOS video display unit. The VDU updates every new data entry.

https://asos.met-instruments-project.com/RNY003/RNY003-video-display-unit/video-display-unit.php

It's certainly more of a utilitarian approach than most, but I haven't seen anyone do this and thought it would be really neat. I also intend on adding a fully functional Operator Interface Device for viewing historical data and generating PDFs of notable observations.


Cheers

Hi all,

Just wanted to make a little update post to my website:

Currently now have live data coming in each minute from Lakeland, Florida and Rochester, New York. The QDAWS is my deployable weather station set up at any given location to record impactful weather.

Things are pretty much complete in terms of layout. Main graphical displays are done with a couple things here and there I've been adding when time allows.

The Rochester site is a great example of what a site is capable of in reporting pretty much any measurement you can think of including snow depth and dual height web cameras updating each minute.

Pretty happy with how the station plot came out. Up until about a month ago it was only plain white. I wrote a python script to generate a map for the background and it really brings it together.

Also shamelessly copied the NWS Time Series Viewer page format for table data which goes minute by minute for the last 24 hours.

Still some discrepancies between CSP002 and RNY003 due to RNY003 sort of being the testbed for new displays and formats that get rolled over to the other site. Should eventually all have site page homogeny.


Cheers
