I am using the SteelSeries gauges with RTGD on a 3 second update as a stand-alone weather display on an old iPad. It looks great, however the constant rescaling of the gauges for no apparent reason is a real problem. Glancing at the display it should be possible to determine the temperature and other readings by looking at the needle position without looking at the numbers. Unfortunately this is not the case due to rescaling.

The lowest temperature my station has recorded is -4.6ºC and the highest (which was a very rare one-off) was 25.7ºC, so the scale of -10ºC to +30ºC is perfect, and I have that set in the script, however it keeps rescaling to -20ºC to +20ºC for no apparent reason.

I can cope with the wind speed gauge rescaling, but even there I would like it to remain 0 - 60mph and only rescale when it goes over 60mph. Pressure, UV and solar radiation seem to stay at the values I have set.

Is there any way to prevent the rescaling? I understand this really isn't a Weewx or RTGD issue but there's maybe a hack out there that I haven't found.

Thanks,

Rory

Correct, not a RTGD or WeeWX issue. Something perhaps to take up with the SteelSeries Weather Gauges author https://github.com/mcrossley/SteelSeries-Weather-Gauges
