Thanks Steve, I thought I'd run out slots on file transfer page, but I'm OK. I have now created an animated version of the gauges page - well the Wind Speed and Wind Direction are animated anyway. It seems to work OK in Firefox and Chrome, but my copy of IE8 seems to struggle a bit to keep up so I d...

Well the washing machine still isn't fixed (parts in the post) but my gauges web page is now fully realtime (well almost, the Wind Distribution is still a Cumulus graphic). I adapted the cumuluswebtag php template to javascript format and import that for all the values that are required. I still wan...

Well I use XML Notepad as a general XML editor...

One observation I would make is that all the graphs you have provided have shown the wind direction pretty much from the NW. With your mods if there is an imbalance in the sensor it will be very susceptible to having a strong bias to a particular direction if is not perfectly level. Your photos do s...

Even without a style sheet Excel should open the XML file and display all the different tags as column headings, and each day as a new row. If I remember the file format correctly!

I found a later 'patched' version of the boxover script - and this now seems to be working fine. So I think what I have done so far is all fixed now. Thanks for the pointers, and I will looking into animating the windspeed gauge using some tips from Beteljuice ;) I plan on replacing the wind directi...

I'm pretty sure your problem is related to the way the zorn graphics are generated. ie. It creates a parent div with children. When your loop goes around the 'old' div (and any zorn data array) still exist with the same IDs - I'm surprised you are getting your images to update at all ! Also, zorn r...

I think I may have fixed the freezing in Firefox - I was recreating the XMLHttpRequest object afresh each time I used it, it seems that Firefox freezes whilst this takes place, so I have changed the code to re-use the same request objects each time. The problem then became that it just kept re-using...

Thanks Ray, I had been using IE8 and Chrome to test it. Strange how Firefox is affected this way, all the code is doing is a standard asynchronous fetch of the realtime text file using an XMLHttpRequest then repainting the gauges using pretty unmodified 'gauge page' code. Unless it is the repainting...

I just have a 'setInterval' in dashboard.js that fetches the realtime.txt file from my website, updates the data arrays from the realtime data,then redraws the gauges. As I do not refresh the whole page then boxover,js isn't reloaded each time - ah! is there some code in boxover that has to be run e...

If you have been following the other thread on redesigning some of the gauges, the this is a follow-on... I have now amended my gauges page so that the gauges update every minute from my realtime.txt file without refreshing the whole page. The problem is in the boxover code. The boxovers appear corr...

I would check the daily total rainfall figures with a local met. station if possible. But the rate figure is calculated over a 5 minute 'window', so if you have some short, very heavy downpours, the rate can be much higher than the daily total might suggest. I'm not sure if there is a 'standard' met...

Well, the maximum range for all users could be between -50 and +60 (in round numbers, if there are users in Death Valley and Antarctica :lol: ) I picked -20 to +40 as that covers most temperatures experienced in the UK, but I also made two extra gauges of -50 to +10, and 0 to +60, with the idea that...

mcrossley

Dan, what range(s) would you suggest? Ray, I have found a problem in the boxover.js script, line #30 adds a reference to an image file that does not exist (info.gif), I noticed when looking at my web server error logs. The original zip file nor the authors web page has the file either. So I have rem...

Thanks Steve, my bad memory, I could have sworn the multiple stayed the same
