Afternoon - I cant work out why for the life of me i have no lines on some of my day graphs:


A sub section of my graphs.conf for day is below - any thoughts would be really welcome..

Andy

[day]

    # Chart Timespan Defaults

    title = "Today"

    show_button = true

    button_text = "Day"

    time_length = today

    tooltip_date_format = "LLL"

    gapsize = 300 # This should be your archive_interval from weewx.conf


    [[chart1]]

        title = Temperature

        [[[outTemp]]]

            zIndex = 1

            name = Temperature

        [[[windchill]]]

        [[[heatindex]]]

            color = "#f7a35c"

        [[[dewpoint]]]

            color = purple


    [[chart2]]

        # The combined Wind Chart works best in this configuration

        title = Wind Speed and Direction

        yAxis_min = 0

        [[[windDir]]]

            zIndex = 1

            yAxis = 1

            yAxis_max = 360

            lineWidth = 1

            [[[[marker]]]]

                enabled = true

            [[[[states]]]]

                [[[[[hover]]]]]

                        lineWidthPlus = 0

        [[[windGust]]]

        [[[windSpeed]]]

            zIndex = 2

Perhaps rename your custom graphs.conf temporarily and see if the built-in defaults show a different result.

That said, mine sets lineWidth=0 for the wind speed and direction graph.

I suspect you have a case of corrupt station memory. This manifests itself as a Davis station that continues to emit loop but not archive data. In your case you clearly still have loop data being received as your dashboard updates with real data every couple of seconds. The lack of recent archive records means that your day plots may be blank/partially blank due to the lack of recent archive record data, longer historical plots still show correctly up until the date-time the corrupt station memory kicked in. The diagnosis can be confirmed by looking at the log, there will be no errors but you will notice there are no archive records being saved. If you have debug=1 you will also be able to tell by the drivers interaction with your station.

I suggest you work through the steps under Corrupt station memory in the Troubleshooting Davis stations wiki article.

Hi Andy
I don't know if it helps but I've looked at your website and noticed that if you hover over the day graphs you are showing some data points - but only at intervals of every 30 minutes. This doesn't tie in with gapsize = 300 which equates to an interval of 5 minutes. As it says in graphs.conf gapsize should be the same as the archive_interval from weewx.conf. If it isn't then I don't think you will get any lines plotted.
This is a link to the gapsize section in the Belchertown charts documentation.
I think your week, month and year graphs plot correctly because the gapsize for these graphs is greater than your archive interval.
I'm no expert but maybe you need to check why you are only sending (or receiving) data every 30 minutes?

Hi Andy
Yes, your graphs look fine now - glad the suggestion worked.
It was worth me persevering - all the above "Message has been deleted" were me trying to post!
Don't know what I was doing wrong!

Google Groups does that. It will quarantine random emails, but not show them on the "Pending" list where I can release them. They just go into purgatory. Then a few days later they all show up.
