Re: New Forecast Tool

Alright after a busy weekend I have managed to work out a few more kinks and add a little more error support. Just download the new exe and replace your old one. Not going into detail about what I fixed/added.

Re: Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool

Re: New Forecast Tool

Thanks to all, I too have come across this error. It is not an error that will cause incorrect operation of the software, but is an error that needs fixing. Again, thanks to all who are testing.

Re: New Forecast Tool

I was able to figure out why the forecast was being created even though there was insufficient data, but not why it gave you an outrageous number. Changes as follows with this update. ------------------------------------------ Changes... Build 69 2/16/2012 2:04 AM EDT 1. Added error support. The sof...

Re: New Forecast Tool

Thanks for this, it may help to have a few instructions on setup etc. I've downloaded and got it running. To those that are interested you will need Net Framework 4, which you may need to download from MS, quite easy. I'm off out now so will see what I have when I get back home. When I got back aft...

Re: New Forecast Tool

Well, it is extremely simple at the time, it just records the average increase and drop of temperatures for each hour of the day and compiles that into a forecast. I do have plans to take this much further. You have to leave it running 24/7 as it currently has no other way to sample the weather (it ...

Re: New Forecast Tool

Well, "reinventing the wheel" is a long term goal of mine, so I figured why not start small with this, a very simple 12 hour temperature forecast. I also want this software to be able to run based on one weather station, not using a network of stations. As for how far I have gotten, I now ...
