Ajax - Current and Rain Yesterday

[Smithee]

Evening all,

I am completing the move over from another weather program to Cumulus (really liking Cumulus) - as such i have a customised dashboard and all is working apart from Current Conditions, Rain Yesterday and % of Solar. I cant work out why they are not loading (i assume its all in realtime.txt?)

http://weather.casa.ucl.ac.uk/dashboard.htm

The background is also meant to change colour according to the temp - this is the next step to fix...

Any thoughts would be great if possible

Rain yesterday...

If you look in the Wiki for realtime.txt: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Realtime.txt
you will see that yesterdays rain is field 21 (Wiki says 22, but that is 1 relative not 0 relative).

Your JS code at line 904, is extracting field 19 for yesterdays rain, which is actually the monthly rainfall. That needs changing.

The JS script does not seem to calculate the % solar, just gets the solar irradiation value. So you would have to add something like this after the existing calc at line 886...

Code: Select all

		//  Solar Radiation
		var solar    = realtime[45] * 1.0;
		set_ajax_obs("ajaxsolar",solar.toFixed(0));

		var solarpct = solar / realtime[56] * 100;
		set_ajax_obs("ajaxsolarpct",solarpct.toFixed(0));

Thanks Mark,

I updated the tags, added in sunshine hours and got the colours working - so the page background runs through a different colour every 5 degrees.

Thanks as ever for the help

I spot one issue, you have changed the monthly rain total to yesterdays value...

var rainmo = convertRain(realtime[21]);
set_ajax_obs("ajaxrainmo",rainmo.toFixed(dpRain) + uomRain);


Should be field 19.

oops - fixed, thanks
