Title: Saratoga Template - Problems with ajax-gizmo Wind Gusts
Post by: monymony on November 24, 2013, 12:55:44 PM

Hello All,


I have been noticing that the wind gust was always showing as NONE when the AJAX-GIZMO would update my weather data.  Did some digging and it looks like a variable is missing from the WCT_REALTIME.TXT file.  If you experience this issue, here is what I did to fix this:

• Open the WCT_REALTIME.TXT file that WC is using at template under PREFERENCES > ON-LINE > CUSTOM WEB > ADDITIONAL FILES
• The problem is in position "40" which is a bit of a challenge to count.  Therefore search for "STAT$PRESSURE:MIN:TODAY:TIME$|BD$|-|-|STAT$HEATINDEX:CURRENT$|"
• Notice the part "|-|-|".  Replace the second "-" with STAT$WINDGUST:CURRENT$
• The end result is you should now see this in your txt file - "STAT$PRESSURE:MIN:TODAY$|STAT$PRESSURE:MIN:TODAY:TIME$|BD$|-|STAT$WINDGUST:CURRENT$|STAT$HEATINDEX:CURRENT$"

I hope this is helpful for some of you.


Enjoy!

That worked for me.  Nice catch.  I think it would be a great idea to visit the Saratoga site and let him know what you found so he can post an update.  Thanks for sharing!
