Trouble getting started...

[camattin]

Hello, I'm exporting a CSV from WUHU and configured GraphWeather to read this CSV, but it seems GW isn't doing anything. As a test, I only mapped the first 3 columns (date as column 1, outdoor temp as column 2 and outdoor humidity as column 3). It still isn't showing me anything when I try to graph it within GW. It also doesn't seem to be logging any problems either, so I'm not sure what to do next.

Here's a snippet of the first few lines of the CSV:
%Time%,%OutdoorTempDegF%,%OutdoorHumidity%,%OutdoorDewpointF%,%OutdoorWindchillF%,%OutdoorWindchillF%,%OutdoorWindDirection%,%OutdoorWindSpeedMPH%,%OutdoorWindGustSpeedMPH%,%OutdoorPressureRelativeINHG%,%OutdoorPressureAbsoluteINHG%,%OutdoorRain1HrIN%,%OutdoorRain24HrIN%,%OutdoorRainTotalIN%,%IndoorTempDegF%,%IndoorHumidity%

Mon Jan 13 17:24:54 2014,52.4,53.0,35.8,52.4,52.4,139,2.0,8.0,29.97,28.91,0.00,0.00,2.70,76.8,39.0
Mon Jan 13 17:25:56 2014,52.4,53.0,35.8,52.4,52.4,225,0.0,7.0,29.98,28.92,0.00,0.00,2.70,76.8,39.0
Mon Jan 13 17:26:58 2014,52.3,53.0,35.7,52.3,52.3,196,3.0,7.0,29.98,28.92,0.00,0.00,2.70,76.7,39.0
Mon Jan 13 17:28:01 2014,52.3,53.0,35.7,52.3,52.3,224,2.0,7.0,29.98,28.92,0.00,0.00,2.70,76.6,39.0

In the CSV plugin setup page, I have date/hour of records pointed to column 1 (UNIX timestamp), outdoor temp pointed to column 2 and outdoor humidity pointed to column 3.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but it's escaping me what it could be.

Thanks for any pointers!

Viewing this manual, the outside temperature is in column 3

No, it's in column 2. That's why I posted the snippet from my CSV file that GW is reading.

[paaubert]

sorry I did not see that they were degrees fahrenheit, it was not used here to see temperatures of 53 °C

what is the type of station, the version of GW?
you can put your files online or send it to me by email

Heh, that'd explain some confusion, for sure.

I put the 2 config files (CSV_base.cfg, config.cfg) and the CSV (GraphWeatherTemplateOut.txt) on my site, available via http://camattin.com/gw/
Some screen shots are attached as well.

My current version of GW is 2.0.321, but I had also tried the version 3 beta with the same results... so figured I'd revert back to the 'stable' version.

Is there any way to have GW be more verbose in its logging? Both log files in the logs directory are currently empty.

I'm not sure that GW knows how to interpret the value of the date "Mon Jan 13"
In any case it is not a unix timestamp !!!

unix format is gender 1372629900

I look if I find a solution

Ahh, ok. I was blindly following an old guide (from a fellow WUHU user).

I manually updated my CSV with the correct unix timestamps and now GW is graphing the weather! Sweet!

Now I just need to figure out the right value to pull from WUHU to have it give me the unix timestamps on the get-go.

Thanks for shedding the light on this!!

[camattin]

I can't seem to find a format output for WUHU to have it directly output a unix timestamp. I can get it to output in "excel" format (mm/dd/yy hh:mm). So my question now is what does the format string need to look like in the GW setup page?

I tried something like mm/dd/yy hh:mm in the format box, and it just crashed GW, so at least I know what isn't right.

[paaubert]

you can put any format.
after must match the format options GW

it is possible to other formats

y-m-d
y/m/d
yd

etc....

[camattin]

I changed the format of the date going to the CSV as follows:
(col1,col2)
01/14/2014,14:22:10
(mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss)

And set the format strings in GW as:
from formatted date:
date column (1): %m/%d/%Y
hour column (2): %H:%M:%S

Now GW's back to not reading the data. Where are the GW format options documented (in english)? (e.g. is it expected a 2 or 4 digit year? Hour in 24hr format? And so on...)

In the interim, I'll split each value into its own column and see if I can get any results that way.

[paaubert]

this can help you?

Hello,
to be a little be more specific http://www.boock.ch/meteo/GW_doc_objets ... rmatstring
For info, the date format is the standard C++ one

PS, would you mind showing in your signature the type of station you own, its software driving it, version of windows, GW version and your site adress if you own one.
Thks

That page helps a great deal! Strange, though, the format string I was previously using _should_ have worked. No biggie anymore though, it's working so I'll leave that bit alone.

Now it's time to start digging into the web page building and exporting that GW can do!
