WeatherLink conversion to WeatherCat
« on: December 01, 2020, 02:30:15 PM »
A while ago I posted a link to my application for converting WeatherLink data to WeatherCat format. The app. only worked if the WeatherLink data was in metric format.
Due to popular demand I have now updated the app to be more universal. You can now specify the format of your WeatherLink data and it will be converted.

The application can be downloaded from:

www.fenendfarm.co.uk/WlinkToWcat.dmg

It is now code signed and notarized by Apple so there should be no problems running it.

I have also put the project in my github repository along with the source code for anyone who wants to modify it.

Warning it's an inelegant quick hack.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system

Dear Ken, X-Air and WeatherCat faithful,


A while ago I posted a link to my application for converting WeatherLink data to WeatherCat format. The app. only worked if the WeatherLink data was in metric format.

Thank you very much Ken for this!   It is definitely above and beyond the call of duty!


Warning it's an inelegant quick hack.

Since none of this was necessary, the warning is in its own way an even greater courtesy.  We are all busy these days.  Thanks for managing to squeeze this into your busy life!

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]
