WeatherCat General Discussion / Transfer Weathercat

Hi!
I’m donating my Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station and the 2009 Mac I’ve been running with it for more than 15 years to a local non- profit communications museum. How do I reset email addresses to a new account, or do I need to purchase a new copy of WC for the ?

Wow! I had forgotten all about this thread. Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, outdoor rust is a given in most climates.

Dear WeatherCat station caregivers,

I started to notice suspicious "spikes" in my outdoor temperature at the same time our central air conditioner was running.  The exhaust blast could be carried under the deck where my station's temperature/humidity probe is located, so I was wondering if that component had some "issuez."

It has been several years since I had given it a good clean up so I wasn't surprised at the condition I found it in:



Further dismantling revealed the dirty conditions that the PC case fan was working in:



However, if you look carefully, you will notice a critical problem.  The fasteners were badly rusted.  So badly that I couldn't get them to budge!!  I had bought replacement fans, but had no way to make the swap.

In the meantime at least I cleaned up the temperature/humidity probe itself:



Not being sure what else to do, I went ahead and cleaned the old PC case fan and it did appear to be running much better. 



I also cleared around the temperature/humidity probe:



After a thorough cleanup, I put the components back together and I seem to have resolved the air conditioner spiking problem - at least for now. 



 At some point I guess I'll have to saw apart the old fan and replace it then.

When I'll find the time to make sure a repair - I most certainly do not know!!

WeatherCat Feature Requests / Primary Sensors

Another request: Can you add something like shown in the screenshot, where someone can specify the channel to be used as primary sensor for temp, wind, rain... etc?

March was...
   Warmer than average (59.03°F versus an average of 52.45)
   Drier than average (2.87 in versus an average total of 5.05)
   Calmer than average (a wind run of 1,316 miles versus an average of 1,374)

Thanks Dave for sharing!

Who's next?

Dear Blick and WeatherCatters who like "pretty pictures."

I'm getting old and can't remember how to do something I've done for years.  :-[

How do you post the screenshot of Grand's WeatherCat RCP app in the body of your message without uploading it as an attachment?

Well it isn't much of a secret and you have to be will to use some of the space on your web server.  All I do is keep a folder on the web server and put the images there.  Then I to figure out the URL that goes to the WeatherCat RCP images.  So the image above has this URL:

Code: [Select]
http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/WeatherCat%20climate%20reports%20-%202026/WeatherCat_Mar_2026_climate.jpg
If you copy that into a browser the WeatherCat RCP image will pop up.

It is using up some storage space, but these days web hosting providers give you plenty so thus far I haven't had to go back and delete old images.

I hope that's enough to jog your memory!  [bounce]
