Thanks Glenn, still new to this like to get into the data style stuff at least over the internet I don't have any packet radio equipment. Have a great rest to your week and weekend.
It is not “weather maps”.? The maps are APRS style maps which show where the other D-Rats stations on the network are located.? The weather feature is a text report that can give the present conditions in a selected area, or a 5-day forecast.? The maps do not show any weather features.
Cordially,

Hi new to this how do I get the weather maps on d-rats? Thanks VE4CRN

Well, I am glad we got that one figured out.??I do recall when we first started using the versions with the weather reporting that we had to remove the s so the ulr started with http:??instead of https:, but this was the first time I ran into the problem with the Maps.??I usually used only the “base” map from openstbreetmaps, but it has stopped working with or without the s.??

Glen,
? That solved the problem on both!! Remove the s from https for the maps and the openweather api deal and just have it as http -- I figured it was something simple. I'll have to update the mode overview files for that...but with storms forecast here overnight through Sunday, it'll be Monday before I can get to it. It has been a long day today, and I'm exhausted. A shout out also to Jack, KD4IZ, for keeping me up to date on this.

Okay, I got the thunderforest maps to work again by removing the "s" from the https at the beginning of the url.? That did not work for the openstreetmaps.? Did they start using apikeys recently?
|
I think I just found another problem.? We were talking about weather reports so much, I missed that a problem had developed on the Maps too.? If, for example, you had already cycled through downloading all of your Base maps for your area a while back, they will still work because the tiles were saved in the maps directory.? However, if you try to download maps for another area, the Maps window indicates it is downloading tiles, but nothing shows up except the stations that would appear in that zoom level.? The program has ceased downloading map tiles from the source.? For me, even after doing Windows updates, my weather information is still working, but attempts to download new areas in Maps from either openstreetmaps or from thunderforest are not working.

hi!
so, from your log the only error related to openweather that i see is this one:
IOError: [Errno socket error] [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)
After googling, I think this is something?related to SSL at Windows10 level, not sure how to fix?it.
the only hint i can give is to remove the "s" from https: got to? ? ? ?file->preferences->CHAT Edit the openweather uri changing http:// into http://
in my case, on windows 10, it works in both cased (with and without the s)
hope this?helps maurizio

are you connecting on multiple ratflector at the?same time? can you try connecting to only one? (i.e. activate select?only one checkbox?in the config panel)

On an RCA Windows 10 tablet computer with the same Windows settings as above I can also generate the Weather string under KG5CEN-2.
I am not sure what is going on, but one thing is certain, I have not attempted to upgrade to any of the experimental new builds since Maurizio came out with the original 0.3.9 build.??Has something been changed in the currently downloadable build since these folks are saying they had to reinstall D-Rats?

Hello Maurizio,

I have been using 0.3.9 since it was released. I previously had the weather feature set up and working. I had not tried it since the release of 0.3.9. It no longer works, so I am guessing that either:
1) the way that openweather.org sends the data has changed so that the data parse function does not result in a usable text, or
2 )that something else (a Java/JSON translator .dll???) needs to be installed and loaded by the system.
I hope my inquiry makes sense.
My test below suggests that my second guess might be correct, because Glen, KG5CEN and Ricardo, CT1EBQ can successfully send a weather string. They may be using Linux or Raspberry Pi OS. Daryl and I are using Windows 10.
?
Any additional hints or thoughts about this?

My city string is (Hampstead,md,us) and I have a valid API Key. I have used several permutations of the location string in D-Rats v0.3.9 and they all result in no output. My text QST’s are sent correctly.
?
When I use a browser to send the API url, location, and my key from the URL box like this:
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Hampstead,md,us&appid=<insert your own API key here>
I get the following Raw Data:
{"coord":{"lon":-76.85,"lat":39.6048},"weather":[{"id":802,"main":"Clouds","description":"scattered clouds","icon":"03d"}],"base":"stations","main":{"temp":292.27,"feels_like":291.78,"temp_min":289.85,"temp_max":295.09,"pressure":1005,"humidity":59},"visibility":10000,"wind":{"speed":3.58,"deg":311,"gust":8.94},"clouds":{"all":40},"dt":1633022817,"sys":{"type":2,"id":2032439,"country":"US","sunrise":1632999762,"sunset":1633042304},"timezone":-14400,"id":4357279,"name":"Hampstead","cod":200}
With temperature given in Kelvin, other units are metric.
The Firefox JSON translator correctly tells me that it says:

Daryl and Glen, ? I am having similar issues here and short of the uninstall also tried the same steps Daryl has. I did generate a new API key and the results were the same. Also have done this with both my workstation and my laptop. So I have a built in second look at the process. Version 0.3.9 on the workstation, pretty sure same on laptop but it is not in the office here. ? Jack – KD4IZ ?

? I tried that (lower case for the city and state) as well...still nothing. I even did a complete uninstall and re-install of D-Rats this morning for the umpteenth time...still nothing. I even went into the hidden files to manually edit the configuration file with the string...still nothing.
? I don't know if getting a new API would work or not. Why it will work and display for other stations and not me, is frustrating to say the least. Before I had to reinstall Windows 10 to rebuild the registry (because the BlueDV program that I use for accessing D-Star, wouldn't load, run, install, or uninstall, otherwise), it worked. Why it won't work now, I have no clue.

Daryl,
I don’t think the app likes all CAPS.??The string to use in the QST is “Little Rock,ar,us”. Notice the caps are only used in the city name, the rest is all lower case.??If you put the state and country designation in CAPS it won’t work.??Trust me on this, I ran into the same problem when I first set the thing up.
Cordially,
Glen P. Strecker

I have no idea what is wrong with it. I guess I have to delete D-Rats, and do a complete fresh download and install. I guess doing that with the reinstall of Windows 10 64-bit and rebuilding of the registry didn't do any good, either.
I have gone to the openweather website, and copied down my api code, and entered it where I should in D-Rats. I then entered the city as LITTLE ROCK,AR,US in the QST under OpenWeather for current. Nothing shows up either in the ratflector window, or the QST window.?
I have followed the instructions given in other URL's in this thread to the letter, and it still will not work. I'm stumped and frustrated to say the least. I even exited D-Rats, and went into the hidden files are to edit the data into the configuration file, and restarted the program...nothing. I only have it going out once an hour.
Glen, KG5CEN, was able to get the data from Little Rock to display, but the app seems to be broken on my end. So, I zapped it and reinstalled it...still no dice. So, I'm going to give up on it.
