SteelSeries Gauges - version 1.0

[captzero]

I have set up a SteelSeries Guages page formatted for the iPad

Hi Andy.

Nice work. It looks like your box overs containing the Wind and Rain graphs are transposed. Rainfall gauge shows Wind speed graph etc.

Cheers

Mark, I saw some led settings and alarm settings in the scripts are these hidden features

[mcrossley]

I don't think so Ron. The status LED is displayed on the sample page, not sure what the alarms are (?) but is it the download timeouts and station off-line stuff?

[nitrx]

Well I mean this code

Code: Select all

// Create audio tag for alarm sound
        if (playAlarm && alarmSound !== false) {
            var audioElement = doc.createElement('audio');
            audioElement.setAttribute('src', alarmSound);
            //audioElement.setAttribute('src', 'js/alarm.mp3');
            audioElement.setAttribute('preload', 'auto');
        }

in the steelseries.js and

this led on your windgauge (it was blinking red once for a while)

[mcrossley]

Ah, right. That is a feature of the gauge library I have not used. If enabled, a LED is shown on the gauge and when you set the value a tick mark is displayed on the scale. You can also set an optional audio file. When the gauge reading exceeds the alarm threshold value the LED will blink and the audio file play (if set).

Ok thanks

Greetings,

Marc,

[Fritz]

I am trying to integrate the Steel Series gauges with the Carter Lake/Saratoga-Weather Templates, calling "gauges-ssT.htm" with a php include.

I'm getting the goofy BOM characters "  " on the page and haven't a clue as to how to get rid of them.

Tried changing the whole template set from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 and also commenting out the UTF-8 in gauges-ssT but the characters are still there.

Anybody have any ideas ?

Thanks

Fritz

EDIT: Could it be that I edited gauges.js in notepad ?

EDIT#2: I was on the right path, edited the gauges-ssT.htm in notepad, found the answer in a Joomla! forum. See here on how to fix it if you have the same problem.

[nitrx]

You probaby did not save it as UTF-8 use notepad +

[SpeedyGJ]

I have a question.
Why i can only 6sec intervall and not 2sec?

[mcrossley]

New version 1.1.4 just posted, the only changes are the addition of a Dutch translation and some colouring of the rain rate gauge sectors (which could probably do with some tweaking!)

SpeedyGJ: I'm not sure what you mean, the "g_count" variable controls the interval between realtime downloads (in whole seconds only). Are you saying it does not work when set to 2? Can you provide a link to your page so I can see what is going on?

[gemini06720]

Mark, there is one modification I have made to the 'gauges.js' script which I think other people might find useful... I have added a new variable near the top of the script (line 16):

Code: Select all

var forecast_width = 550;  //width of the forecast gauge (default value)

And at line 220 (of version 1.1.4), I have modified from:

Code: Select all

width : 550,

to:

Code: Select all

width : forecast_width,

The (suggested) modification would allow me (the station operator) to easily change the width of the display without having to re-edit the script every times a new version is released...

There are a few additional modifications I have been trying implement but have half succeeded...

My idea is/was to add a sub-routine to change the colours/types of the gauges according to the seasons. Well. that part of the modification works well. What I am/was also trying to do was to pass the status (on/off) of a variable from the 'gauges.js' script to the HTML/PHP script, but with that part, I have failed miserably (limited knowledge of JavaScript)...

Would you have some suggestions/recommendations...

[mcrossley]

Ray, I have added that new variable to the code, so it will be incorporated in the next release.

I'm not quite sure what you are doing with the colouring? To pass variables to PHP you would just use the standard "?variable=value" at the end of the URL to a GET or POST would you not?

[gemini06720]

I'm not quite sure what you are doing with the colouring? To pass variables to PHP you would just use the standard "?variable=value" at the end of the URL to a GET or POST would you not?

Mark, the gauges have to change colours depending on the seasons...

Basically, I have different types of settings for the 'look'n'feel' of the gauges, thus, during the warmer months, my gauges use the default colours (or the colours as set in the script) and during the colder months (started at the beginning of this month) my gauges use a darker (carbon) background and red pointers - cold dark months of winter with temperatures in the red...

But you completely miss my other point, the one about passing the status of a variable from the 'gauges.js' JavaScript to either an HTML or PHP template - I know how to pass variables status/values from PHP scripts to PHP scripts but I have not yet figure out if a similar operation/way exists to pass the status/value of a variable from a JavaScript (such as 'gauges.js') to a PHP script...

[Fritz]

Mark,
I've been fooling with this for 2 days and I've tried everything that I can think of but I can't seem to get the "°F" to not display on my gauges.

http://westmorelandweather.com/wxssgauge.php

I see in the .js file...

// clean up temperature units - remove html encoding
cumulus.tempunit.replace('°','°');

But it just doesn't want to cooperate with me.

Could you point me in the right direction ?

Running V 1.1.4 as of this morning and it is still there.

Thanks

Fritz
