Website just about complete, but they are never complete as someone will release a new script and everything needs updating again!!
www.mad-weather.comThis is Madeira, the Portuguese Island off the coast of Morocco and not Madeira Beach Florida!! Small dot floating around in the Atlantic!!
Bought an Oregon WM928 a few years ago and ran it with the software in the UK but never put it online. When we moved out here, by the time I got to uploading the information the anemometer started to fail, so decided time to bite the bullet and bought myself a Davis VP2 Plus Wireless with 24 hour FARS. Soon got it set up and the data uploading to the internet. Then it was time to start building a website to tidy things ups. I was already using Weather Display as the software came with the Oregon.
Knowing a bit about HTML and CSS I went my own route, first of all using the displays from WD and then adding in wx tags and then the scripts that work with the Saratoga wx templates. Basically need common.php and Settings.php and it should work. A few issues along the way and things break occasionally. And WD throws the odd wobbly and freezes. And some of the data doesn't always correspond, especially the rain data!!
Next addition is a Panasonic BL C140 IP cam that is on its way. Will get it running as static images first before trying to stream. Open ports will be the way to go as already know a little about that as have been working on setting up my own server, just have the double NAT here as 2 routers. Will also need a switch as second router is fully used.
After last nights storm in which we had the loudest thunderbolt/clap/crash, call it what you like, that I have ever heard, and then followed by constant lightening which we also had a few days ago am thinking that a lightening detector might be another addition.
Thunder was directly over head and although no power loss we lost tv and still down on the IP TV. UK satellite is working OK now.
The Hi Low Averages page is a bit twitchy, possibly a CSS issue, not sure, does it on refresh, but not sure Scott is maintaining this and it was an updated script from Hamilton Weather. Plus a couple of parts not working quite as they should, wind run in kmh and not mph although that is the default.
Welcome some constructive comment.
Pretty much tested in most browser setups, but not perfect on some Mac and Linux setups.
Thanks for looking. Rosalind
