When I tried to change the units used for the metric rain dials in the images-metric.conf file nothing seems to happen. It continues to use cm no matter what I have for units in the images-metric.conf file.

I've changed the barometer from mb to hPa and it works fine.

Any ideas?

I did a quick survey of the code involved and nothing looks out of the ordinary. Post your images-metric.conf and let's have a look see...

10-4

here are the changed bar charts that work...

Code:

#################  B A R  C H A R T S                    #################

# Filename              Label                           Units       DP  FNIndex
#---------------------  ------------------------------  ----------  --  -------
rainday.png             "Rain/hour"                     mm          0   33
rainmonth.png           "Rain/day"                      mm          0   34
rainyear.png            "Rain/week"                     mm          0   35


and the ones that do not.

Code:

#################  V P  P L U S  D I A L S               #################

# Filename              Label                           Units       DP  FNIndex
#---------------------  ------------------------------  ----------  --  -------
netRainDay.png          "Precip Day"                    mm          0   112
netRainMonth.png        "Precip Month"                  mm          0   113
netRainYear.png         "Precip Year"                   mm          0   114

noticed a couple other interesting things today (a dry day for a change). These might be related to changing the metric converter, so might be something to watch when Jeremy finishes his modifications.

#1: When 24hr graph was all zeros it suddenly showed bars solid across going up and out of the graph...

#2: There was a trace of rain here at around 14:00 (0.25mm) however, the rain storm didn't start counting until 17:00 when the rain really begin.

Might be nothing but might be indicators of a bug hiding somewhere...

cheers. Chris

Unless the trace of rain fell at a rainrate of 0.05"/hour or greater, it does not trigger the storm start. The start time is based on rain rate, since a slow drizzle is not really a storm...

I know, you want to configure that too. I have already anticipated that...

I need more details concerning when this happened - when was the 24 hour graph all zeros? Which graph? Other details...

That's what I thought was likely the case. And thank you for making it configurable... the more options the merrier.

Details:

The graph was all zeros between when it was showing ranges between 11PM - 11AM ... and 5AM-5PM (so between 11AM and 5PM realtime)

It was the rainday.png graph (that you see on my index and 24hr pages).

The bars went completely off-scale.

The modifications I have made are:
* 10 on the Farenheit-Celsius conveter
replaced cm with mm in the images-metric.conf file for that bargraph
