Cumulus Support

MT can be updated as often as the user wants, some use 3s, it is only a problem if your server supports cron jobs in minutely intervals.

I figured out the Cron job part, have it running several cron jobs with a SLEEP function. It updates every 12-15 seconds depending on server load. Have to give the Update.php file time to run.
I still can not figure out where the data for the wind speed is coming from. It appears to be using AVERAGE wind speed, and not the CURRENT wind speed. You can see the wind direction changing and some of the other gauges with every time update (cron job ran) but wind speed appears very static. Still hunting to see where it gets the data from. I have been in contact with Jachym on this, and he is not sure either.

I really like the Meteotemplate, it looks nice and can be pretty customized with a few tweaks, but this one is throwing me.

Just to close this out. I had my cron job running every 15 seconds, (used a sleep function).
While this worked just fine, Meteotemplate uses a Average wind speed to display on the gauges, so the wind speed would only change every 1-5 minutes. Not being able to figure out where the gauge was getting the data from, I went back to Mr. Crossley's original SS-Gauge set, reinstalled the newest version. Have it working perfectly within Meteotemplate, and giving me 10 second updates. Turned off all the extra cron jobs that were running, (server guys were happy).
Just have to tweak the credits at the bottom of the page, they are not showing up, (sorry Mark I will fix it)

Thanks everyone for the help.

Hello everyone,

In updating the data on METEOTEMPLATE, I abandoned the update of the data by WUNDERGROUND.

Structural problems of this site have caused multiple halts of the updates.

On the other hand locally if the local pc stops or reboote, Wunderground stops its recordings, I have to restart the CUMULUSMX to get the update but with losses of the previous data.

Therefore I use Realtime.txt now, of course it is necessary that the remote site accepts the download, to ask you to your access provider.

cordially
