SS ticker blank not showing forecast

[Doug Couper]

Hi all

Installed stainless steel gauges and the real-time gauge data extension.

The forecast in the ticker is not showing it is a blank display

https://baldivisweather.ddns.net/ss/

Forecast for Weewx is installed and working correctly with the Zambretti forecast, Weewx.Conf has be modified for Zambretti in the real time gauge config.

The site is presenting Zambretti forecast on the forecast sample

https://baldivisweather.ddns.net/forecast/zambretti.html

I thought it might be due to the Zambretti algorithm not having run but it has now and not displaying.

Probably some very simple I have missed “forecast” is in the database

We're going to need some more info. Can you please post your [RealtimeGaugeData] stanza from weewx.conf; if you are only using the Zambretti forecast there should be no sensitive info in the stanza, but do check first for API keys, passwords etc before posting. Also, can you edit weewx.conf, set debug = 1, save weewx.conf and restart WeeWX. Take a log extract showing the full WeeWX startup and post the extract back here.

Here is the stanzer will get the log next 

I have changed the Zambretti bit in the stanzer to lower case to no avail already and reverted back to the capitalised version

Thanks. that all looks as it should. It's been a while since I've looked at any of the forecasting source code in RTGD. Let me re-familiarise myself with it and I will get back to you.

[Doug Couper]

Thanks Gary

Doug,

I've been able to reproduce the problem. I've created issue #32 on GitHub to track the issue.

I wrote the scroller/forecast code used in RTGD over four years ago, back when Matthew Wall's original forecast extension was in use. My code is not as robust as I would like plus it is possible something changed within the forecast extension. I suspect it will be an easy fix, but let me work on this some more.

Thanks again Gary, I had exhausted all that I thought it could have been

Doug,

Should be fixed in v0.6.4. Just download v0.6.4 and install over the top of v0.6.3. Please let me know how you go.

It is working as advertised now thanks for your assistance and time
