This has already been explained repeatedly, but here again....


UIview _DOES NOT_ create the WXNOW.TXT file. ? It is not a result of
installing
UIview.? Endlessly re-installing UIview will not magically make it appear.

*WXNOW.TXT has to be created by an external program.* This can be either the
weather station software itself, or a third-party "middle-ware" app that
periodically interrogates the weather station, translates it's
proprietary-format data, and writes it out to the standardized-format?

WXNOW.TXT??? Note that whatever app creates the file, it will periodically
overwrite the file with a new version as the weather readings change.

In turn, UIview periodically looks for and reads the content of WXNOW.TXT, and
sends it over the air. ? You tell UIview where it should look for this file,
but it is up to some other program to create it. (You specify the location of
the WXNOW.TXT in the "Setup", "Setup Weather Station" dialog in UIview.)


The whole reason for this drill is that the author of UIview didn't want to
have to deal with the wide variety of proprietary constantly-changing
weather-station data formats.

Not only are they different between manufacturers; even different models from
the same mfr sometimes output data in different formats. Uiview's author did
not want to waste all his time reverse-engineering weather-data formats for new
models to add to an ever-growing list of specific makes & models inside UIview,
[The growing list of TNC init files for different TNCs and radio models was
enough already!] So he left if to WX station mfrs and/or third parties to
deal
with this and output the standardized WXNOW.TXT file.

Subject: [UI-View] UI-VIEW WX DATA FILE


Hello All,
Can someone tell me what the wx weather data file should be, and do I have to create it. The wx station is a LaCrosse ws-28xx series and it is working with WUHU fine but can't get it to transfer data to ui-view..Kerry-WA2NAN

First line is current date and time the file was created
Second line has to following data.
Wind direction/speed
g=gust
t=temperature (in degrees F) temperatures below zero will have a - in the first position (-01 to -99)
r=rain last hour
p=rain last 24 hours
P=rain since midnight
H=humidity
b=barometric pressure in millibars

For more information look up APRS Protocol Reference, Chapter 12

I took a brief look at your software manual and did not find anything referencing the needed APRS file. But it may be worth a call to LA Cross support. I did notice there is a section on "Templates". Could a template be created to do what you need?

Since you had it working at one point there should be a way to accomplish what you need. Did you upgrade to a new version your weather station software that possibly no longer supports the APRS data format?

Hope his helps get pointed in the right direction.

Cheers

I use Weather Display also and in the setting section you have to tell
the software to create the WXNOW.TXT file and where to put it Not
familiar with Heavy weather so look carefully in any setup section

Hi All,

I too use Weather Display for my weather station
using my Davis Vantage Pro2 plus .

UI-View works well with it.

I also have a weather web page, at www.dwayneyamato.com/wx/

Seems to be working well since 2004 when I moved from Illinois to Maui.

I was using Davis Vantage Pro in Illinois in the
late 1990's with UI-View and Weather Display back
then but not a web site until we moved here and
upgraded to the current weather station.

Aloha,

Your Heavy Weather Pro software needs to create the file. I did briefly look at the HWP manual but did not find the information. However, once the file is created, you will need to know where the file is stored on your hard drive. Then in UI-View, under Setup > Wx Station Setup under the WX data file, you need to enter the path and name for the file create by HWP.

Hope this helps you get it going again.
