Two Weather Programs
« on: April 20, 2011, 03:06:38 PM »
Is it possible to reference the wxnoaareports page from within the WD template.  I have VWS and WD running.

Thanks,

Steve,

What I tried to do is use the template from the VWS package for the NOAA reports within the WD template.  When I plugged it in it wouldn't load the reports because it wasn't running VWS even though I had VWS running on my machine.  I ended up creating my own page outside the template package and using an include statement.  See it here:  http://www.jayswoodfurniture.com/wd/vwsgraphs.php

It works now.

Thanks,

Are those NOAA Reports WD generated by the "new compiler" versions?

I see BAR and HUM are added to those, compared to mine from the 37P-44 version.

So this data is compiled from the weather station? If I could get that information from my weather station to be uploaded to my website (If slow daddy ever gets off their hands and gets my site going!) that would be amazing. but if it is just NOAA reports being placed on my site, then nothing great at all, as I want to be able to see my stats, not the stats and information from someone else added onto my site!

No, they are generated by VWS.

AFAIK, VWS, WeatherLink and Weather-Display all generate NOAA-style climate reports.  VWS and WeatherLink as .txt format files, Weather-Display as  .html format files.  The data is all from your weather station, and both monthly and by-year reports are generated. 

WeatherLink generates the NOAAMO.TXT and NOAAYR.TXT files every upload cycle.
VWS generates the noaamo.txt and noaayr.txt and updates 'frequently'
Weather-Display generates the  dailynoaareport.htm (daily generation)  and climatedatayearout.html (monthly generation) reports

There are various scripts to display the data.  I have a PHP script that handles both WeatherLink and VWS (included with the VWS-plugin and WL-plugin for the V3 AJAX/PHP templates).
On my site, I use Weather-Display for almost everything, but use WeatherLink for NOAA-style reports and station daily graphs.

Thanks to VirtualVP handling my Davis VP+ data acquisition, I'm running Weather-Display, WeatherLink, VWS, Cumulus, and MeteoHub (on a SheevaPlug) so I can pick and choose what to display :)

Hope this helps...

Ah! Thanks Jay. I like those additional fields and wish WD or WLink provided them in their NOAAs.

Hello, Ken

I've installed Virtual VP and configured it to run WD and Cumulus, it works all fine, but after 10 minutes my PC forces a restart?! It has something to do with virtual VP and WD, because WD stops working, cumulus stays running and then after a minute or so the pc does a restart...

Any help would be appreciated!

PS: i am running it in Admin-mode like they suggest in the readme-file..

Marc,
