Hello from Eastern Washington
« on: November 27, 2013, 05:55:20 AM »
Hey there! I'm Charlie, and I set up my weather station because the different microclimates around here are wildly different and there's almost no record of it. I'm using a Davis Vantage Pro2 wireless setup. The sensors are about 100 yards away from the house in a large, flat, open pasture. It's been up and running for a few years now. Check out my page on Weather Underground http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KWAPRESC4

Although I've been using WeatherCat (and LWS before that) for years, I've never checked out the forums before. I'm mainly interested in the "integration" forum as I'm looking for Twitter posting solutions and because I want to figure out how to add some weather data to a webcam image (other than the one used in the generated web pages).

So it's nice to be here! I'm looking forward to many interesting discussions!

Welcome to the WeatherCat forum, Charlie!

As noted above, Edouard has some wonderful AppleScripts that allow you to expand on WeatherCat. One is a nice Twitter uploaded that several of us use. Stay tuned, though, because he has been working on some helpful Twitter upgrades that he and I have been testing. You'll like it!

Glad you found us,
Steve

Dear Charlie and WeatherCat forum welcoming committee,  [cheer]

First let me also welcome you to the forum! http://www.canebas.org/Weather/LWC_forum/Custom_emoticons/welcome_smiley.gif

I'm mainly interested in the "integration" forum as I'm looking for Twitter posting solutions

I'm the guy who wrote the AppleScripts and you can have a look at the latest versions here:

http://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=984.0

These are "hobbyist grade" products that require you to get your hands dirty in AppleScript, but most folks have managed to get them to work.

As Steve has mentioned, I've completed an upgrade to WC Twitter Uploader that will make it easy to upload just about any weather data you might like at any time you might like.  Testing is complete, I need to do some brushing up, update the docs, and I'll be able to push it out the door!

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the words of welcome! Sitting here smelling the turkey roast and checking out the forums. Happy Thanksgiving to all the US members, happy  Hanukkah to those who celebrate, and cheers to everyone else.
