TFT temp reading
#2

Hi,

(08-05-2017, 08:21)danner Wrote:  I downloaded the newest Pro2+ software a couple of hours ago. Changed some settings to match what I have and put it in test mode = True. Flashed it, and shazam, it works. Couple questions though.

To make a long story short the temperature displayed on the TFT display reads 153.1 degrees F, but the temp on the internal web page shows the correct temp of 67.1F.

Perhaps it is a bug when using F degrees. I will check it as soon as possible.

The clock initially showed the year 2000 and after it connected to my LAN the clock updated to the correct date but not the correct hour. My time zone is 4 hours behind UTC time but the displayed time is 3 hours ahead of UTC.  I had planned to run this without a PC and software for a little while and just have it upload to wunderground, but if it needs to have Cumulus connected in order to have the correct time then how does that work with wunderground and the time difference.

You don't need to have the receiver unit connected to Cumulus to have the correct time. It just a matter of adjusting two parameters in the user configurable settings. Please check these settings and adjust according to your Time Zone and Summer Time rules

Code:
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   Define rules for Auto Summer Time Display, and clock adjustment
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Example for Australia Eastern Time Zone (Sydney, Melbourne)
// TimeChangeRule aEDT = {"AEDT", First, Sun, Oct, 2, 660};    //UTC + 11 hours
// TimeChangeRule aEST = {"AEST", First, Sun, Apr, 3, 600};    //UTC + 10 hours
// Timezone myTZ(aEDT, aEST);

TimeChangeRule PST = {"PST", Last, Sun, Mar, 1, 60};   //Portuguese Summer Time -  "UTC + 1" or GMT + 1
TimeChangeRule GMT = {"GMT", Last, Sun, Oct, 2, 0};    //Portuguese Winter Time -  "UTC + 0" or GMT
Timezone myTZ(PST, GMT);

Example for you, supposing your place doesn't use "Summer Time"

TimeChangeRule ST = {"ST", Last, Sun, Mar, 1, -240};   // My Summer Time -  UTC -4
TimeChangeRule WT = {"WT", Last, Sun, Oct, 2, -240};    //My Winter Time -  UTC -4
Timezone myTZ(ST, WT);[/code]

Yes, it uses the user defined elevation to calculate the equivalent sea level pressure. This is the value used by weather stations to report pressure.

Changing the code, almost everything it's possible. I don't recommend, but if you wish, you can do it at your own risk.
