Re: realtime.txt

The problem is that 'realtime' is becoming/has become something other than real time data. Not that it's necessarily a problem, it's just not what I envisaged! I'd have called it something different if I'd known. And no, I would haven't called it that... ;)

I don't propose to add anything that can be derived in PHP (or whatever) but the other two I'll do (at some point). For now I'll only be adding anything that I already have easily available.

I feel a bit mean turning down small requests when I'm in the middle of adding a completely new facility...

And if you were *really* feeling generous, I wouldn't mind having a new <#wchillTM> and <#TwchillTM> (low windchill & time) *and* equivalents in realtime.txt. Oh, and maybe <#humidexTM> and <#ThumidexTM> (high humidex).

I'll stop now. :-)

Hi,
some tips

you can create your own realtime-bpsmicro.txt
you know the format, and the tags you need ~>

create a xxxx.txt file and put the tags in it, use cumulus internet extrafiles facility to process and upload the file in realtime

done

sample:

Code: Select all

<#date> <#time> <#tag> <#tag>
i.e.<value you need><space><value you need><space>, and so on

all in one line, and it should work (not tested)
:)

Yes - of course. I never think of these things :(

You can create a custom realtime.txt file using any data for which a tag already exists.
