Feedback on Vantage Vue

[RRT4]

has someone tested the vantage vue weather station (serial or usb data
logger) with wview and can confirm if it works without any changes?
the station uses the same version of the Vantage Pro 2 datalogger and
can even receive the signal of VP2 ISS
Furthermore, in the past there were stations, that although not
officially supported, like the WMR928NX European version of wmr968,
worked well with wview without any changes
PS: already other weather software run the vantage vue ws without
modification, f.e. WD and Meteohub, so i think yes it can works but i
am waiting for feedbacks

tnx

Yes I have a Vantage Vue working with wview 5.6.0 on a Linux box
(Ubuntu 9.04 Studio)
It worked out of the box.
You can see my site (under construction) here: http://veleta.info
In fact I plan to use just the generated file parameterlist.txt
transformed into a PHP where I get all real time values stored into
PHP variables and so I can design my site with complete freedom.
There are still some uncomfortable issues dealing with multilingualism.
For example, the Beaufort scale is in English and it seems that to get
it in a different language it is necessary to edit and re-compile
wvutils.c
For the same reason, the images labels need to be changed on the
corresponding .conf file and these changes cannot be done
on the fly.
I think that this kind of parameters should be either on a sqlite file
or on a text file from where wview should read the localized version
of the labels.

Hey Luis,

What you've described for your PHP site is exactly what I've got going on my website at http://www.alberniweather.ca

I've tried to bundle it up so that other people, who know PHP reasonably well, could use what I've done so they don't have to reinvent the wheel.

That said...I've basically reinvented the wheel as I'm not using any wview generated html or images. I only use a single wview generated list of variables plus the mySQL backend to generate graphs and produce historical data. (the noaa stuff is still there though too).

You can download my php app here:

http://www.alberniweather.ca/wviewphpsupportfiles.tar.gz

It includes a README with instructions.

Or look for the WviewPHPwebapp.txt file in the wview Google Group files section.

Hope that helps! Don't hesitate to email me with any questions even if you're just building your own as I may have already addressed some troubles you might have.



Mark: There are two files that are outdated on the Google Groups files section. "WviewPHPCustomWebsiteInstall.txt" and "READMEwviewPHP.txt" you can delete them off the site... I don't see an option for me to be able to do so.

Hi Chris

I am downloading it and I will have a look at it during the we.
I guess that there must be other people doing what we are doing.
Why do you use mySQL?
Another thing I was thinking of is wrapping it all in order to use it
inside a Drupal or Joomla installation.
What do you think?

Cheers
Luis

I'm using mySQL because my web and data host is remote, because it's what wordpress and other systems use anyway, and you can do a lot more sophisticated sql queries with it than you can sqlite. (which I admit I haven't had a chance to get to yet in my own web app... but it's on the todo list.)

I've been thinking about moving to Drupal myself, but have shyed away from getting started on it simply for time constraints and lack of a testing place.

I look forward to you checking it out.

Not many other eyeballs have seen my code... so I apologize in advance... :+)

Oh, and since you mentioned it, it spurred me to make a few changes here and there and fix a few bugs that were bugging me... so I'd recommended downloading the package again as I've updated it since.
