Weewx-Weather34 Skin Questions

[Dun Mac]

Can anyone shed light on these matters from the Weewx-Weather34 skin;

1. Position 4, in the easyW34skinsetup.php only gives the options of of advisory_rw, _eu,_uk. Is this the only options for position 4? Some previous versions on the internet are showing Position 4 with more options  ((W34-HC-IMJD-2.0.0)  WeeWX-(4.2.0)  Ecowitt GW1000). My version is (W34-HC-IMJD-4.1.3)  WeeWX-(4.5.1)  Davis Vantage Pro2)

2. easyW34skinsetup.php - ICAO code for METAR Station1 did not change the station. Is this because the field is held in weewx.conf and as such weewx needs to be stopped and then restarted to change the setting?

3. Position 9, Barometer. The default range for the dial is 950 - 1050 hPa, (28 - 31 inHg). I changed the barometer.php file to min 980 min 1050 max, (29 inHg - 31inHg) but the barometric reading which is currently 1005.5 is still sitting at 1 o'clock on the dial and with the range adjustment it should be sitting at 11 o'clock. The descriptor on the dial reads min 980 hPa and max 1050 hPa. Is there anyway of changing the scaling of the barometer display so that 12 o'clock on the scale is 1015 hPa and not the default 1000 hPa? 

Thank you, Duncan

Duncan,

Taking your questions in turn: -

1.  Over the past few updates, we have been progressively tidying things up. Position 4 is now the fixed location for advisory alerts as far as the setup page is concerned. However you are able to override that by manually editing settings1.php. For future developments we may introduce more flexibility and the option for extra columns and rows in the dashboard with total user flexibility on positions.
   
   
2.  All web services including METAR are now set in weewx.conf. The options in the settings page are purely to have the correct location showing in the popup info window.
   
   
   
3. The design of the barometer module pre-dates me. It is all setup in some very clever CSS work. Changing the range that you wish display consequentially the arc of the pointer needs editing of CSS code. It is not something which is easy to accomplish by a user configurable option. If you manage to come up with a solution, we would be happy to include your instructions in the Git repository.

I meant to add that the Metar settings will be removed from the settings page in the next update. All data required for the Metar popup info window will be derived from the Metar API.
