Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool

Mark
On the Extra Data folder you show the Solar Info but with a station that has no Solar capability, wouldn't it be better to not show Max Solar Radiation? I know it is part of the realtime.txt but perhaps if there is 0 sunny and solar radiation then max wouldn't apply.
I realise that this does help if someone has a solar station that is showing 0 though.
Or perhaps a setting somewhere for "Solar yes or no"?

Hi Terry,

I will have a look at your suggestion for the next build.

I am going to be quite busy over the next couple of months as me an my other half
are expecting our baby in September and have quite a bit to sort out.

But I will try and set some time aside to implement that feature for you.

Thanks for you feedback.

Mark

Just a suggestion......not exactly compulsory :-)

Hope all goes well for you and the other half.

Hi Terry,

I managed to find some time over the past couple of days to implement
the Solar Sensor information toggle switch.

I'm just testing it at the moment, so should be able to upload here
very soon.

After testing for a few days I am now happy with the new
bits I've added to Grabber, so please find the new version
available for download below.

Download version 1.3.3 :

Attachment:

CRTDGv134.zip

New in this version:

1.3.4 - (12-07-12)

1.
Added 30 min error handler if FTP site is not accessible, if after this
time Grabber still cannot connect to the FTP site, a MessageBox will be
displayed.

2. Added check box on [Extra Data] screen to turn ON and OFF Solar Sensor
information. If you have a solar sensor on your station please tick
the check box, otherwise leave it unchecked. Your choice will be
automatically saved to the file "Solar_Sensor.txt and will be loaded
at each program start.

NOTE:
The file "Solar_Sensor.txt" must be present and reside in the
application folder.

Thanks Mark, I hope my rain is well now, and the ftp time outs are resolved

Hi Ron,

Fingercrossed I have sorted the rain problem.

Also it looks like my FTP probelm has now finally been sorted
so no more outages

At least it has meant that I have
put in some code to deal with FTP outages now.

my daughter), to do a small update to CRTDG, please see below for details
and the download.

Download version 1.3.5

New in this version:

1.3.5 - (13-11-12)

Thought I would get one last version in before Xmas

As I have this week off work I wanted to add a few more
bits into the program which I have had on my "ToDo" list
for a while.

Hope you find the new additions useful.

New in this version:

1.3.6 - (05-12-12)

which are now corrected to reset to null values.

2. Calculator tab added with the following calculators & convertors.

Fahrenheit wind chill Calculator.

Celsius wind chill Calculator.

Fahrenheit to Celsius convertor.

Celsius to Fahrenheit convertor.

New release version: 1.3.7

I decided to do one last version this year as I wanted to
add "Snow Prediction".

Please Note:
When 'Chance of snow!' is displayed, this means that the current
conditions match those required for snow to be produced, it may
not always mean that snow will fall.

New in this version:

1.3.7 - (12-12-12)

1. Snow prediction added to the [Info @ Station] tab.

2. Webpage templates revised to now include Snow prediction
and WindBarb icons.

Thanks. I downloaded an earlier version, but haven't set it up yet. Now I'll just do the latest version.

New release version: 1.3.8

I have done a couple of tweaks in this version, which have
been bugging me since it's been snowing

New in this version:

1.3.8 - (20-01-13)

1.
Chart on Main Screen now changes colour dependent upon current temperature.
i.e. Above freezing (chart is Red), Freezing and below (Chart is Blue).

2.
Program now works out if precipitation will be Rain or Snow dependent upon
current temperature and will display one or other of the graphic icons.
(Previously it would display both Rain and Snow graphic if there was a
chance of snow predicted).

Hi Mark,
After many months of looking at your progress decided to take some time and try your Grabber. By mistake I downloaded v.1.0.1 and that worked fine. Then downloaded v.1.3.8 and got it working - looks very nice. But after a few updates to http://www.komokaweather.com/weather/grabber/grabberindex.htmnow it no longer ftp's dates. I have verified my FTP settings and they are exactly what I used to upload via Filezilla.

I have attached screen shots of main screen and Conf

Any suggestions?
Paul

p.s. sorry for the size of screen shots - I must learn how to use new Windows better :oops:

PaulMy · **Posted:** Sun Jan 20, 2013 11:43 pm

And finally got it to upload (correcting // in URL and Start - Export Charts) and working well http://www.komokaweather.com/weather/grabber/grabberindex.htm. Can you tell me what would trigger the weather prediction icons? It is and has been below 0 C and going to be much colder but it doesn't appear that the Frost icon is displayed.

Paul
