SteelSeries - 1.6.x Discussion

[G4MHJ]

Regarding my query about the Baro scale being incorrectly displaying and following the kind suggestion by Mark it seems I have a big issue here. Looking at my All time records, then All time, it reveals a Low Baro of 0.0mb at 00:00am 00 MAR 00. Also when I look at Set Values I see year dates of 1850 for low pressure, days without rain, days with rain, and the four temperature setting all with year 1850.
Everything else appears to be working on my WD.
I can see a full rebuild being undertaken unless there is a fix. You cannot modify the log files as it doesn’t go back that far.
My SteelSeries will have to wait.

Sorry about your problems Bob, hopefully you will get them sorted and you’ll be back here.

It should work in IE9, but your page is forcing IE9 into ‘quirks’ mode in order to display it.
The main thing for me is your page is XMLNS and the gauges are HTML5 so you are mixing standards on the one page.
Quite why IE9 is going into quirks mode I don’t know.

Edit: Yes I do - I think!
You have “” as the first line the page, if there is a comment before the tag on a page, IE will switch into quirks mode. Move that comment and make the html tag the first thing in the file and try again.
Also you have no at the start of the file either?

Thanks, Mark. It looks like I have a bunch of work to do on this page.

How can you change the rainrate gauge to display rates larger than 1 " per hour? Been getting heavy rains today with the rainrate up to 6" per hour and the gauge is just pegged at 1". It is also possible to increase the rain total to values greater than one, we will exceed that today as well. This works :lol:

Thanks

you can reset that all time record, then get WD to recalculate the all time records from the logfiles, via action, convert logfiles to data files (and tick convert all (assuming your logfiles are OK)

Brian,

Just an FYI…after making just a few changes to the customclientraw I now have it working on the MAC version. On top of that it seems to load much faster than the windows version. A few tags still not working (rain tags) but some of that may just be because of the last time these things occurred. So now my home page is currently running from the Mac.

Thanks,

Jack

Can you give me a link to your gauges page please? There is something I want to check…

Hi

I have been trying out these new gauges and have them working on a html page but cannot get them to work in PHP, can someone maybe send there PHP gauge script/code so I can compare.

Nice gauges and good work.

OK, I took care of all of the problems you noted above, I think, but the page still will not
load in IE9. I’m beginning to think it’s a problem with my IE9, because even your stock
web pages, e.g. gauges-ssT.htm, will not load in IE9; I get the same failure, that canvas
is not supported. Maybe there’s a setting in my IE9 that is causing the problem. I’ll look
through the Options on IE9 and see if turning on or turning off some setting will get the
page to load.

Keith,

Try clearing your cache, your page worked fine on my IE-9.

Thanks, Jack! Doing that, plus turning compatibility mode off, got the page to load.

Hi Mark,
do you know how to show graphs when mouse override the gauges?
Link: http://www.meteocarmignano.it/wxsteelgauges.php

I’ve set the path correctly in the gauge.js file:

var g_imgPathURL = “./flashgraphs/”; //*** Change this to the relative path for your ‘Trend’ graph images

Link to my graphs: http://www.meteocarmignano.it/wxgraphs.php

Thanks in advance,

Alessandro

Alessandro,

I believe the problem is that flashgraphs does not produce an image file. You need to use something like wxgraphs.

Henrik, I think you question might have fallen through the ‘cracks’…

@jwwd post:80

Its it possible to change the raingauge to a liniear vertical gauge?

Yes it is possible…

Here is an excerpt of the code I am using to produce the linear vertical rain and rain rate gauges on my experimental SteelSeries Weather Gauges page:

    if (document.getElementById('canvas_rain')) {
        gauge_rain = new steelseries.LinearBargraph(
                'canvas_rain', {
                    width: 141,
                    height: 321,
                    gaugeType : steelseries.GaugeType.TYPE2,
....

I must remind you that linear gauges are not as flexible as radial gauges (with my limited knowledge of the ‘steelseries.js’ script, I have found out that some options are not available and there appears to be less code checks).

Similar code can be used to produce linear horizontal gauges - the values for the width and the height have to be reversed (the width has to be greater than the height.

AND, you need the full SteelSeries library (downloaded from GitHub) rather than the cut down version I supply in the gauges-ss zip file.

@KeithW post:24

Works perfectly! Thanks.

Great going for you, but I think your gauges would be easier to read using a light background with black text.

Thanks. I’ve been messing around with all of the settings today, so the background
was dark for a while. I’ve got it set to beige right now and like the look. It is easier
to read.

This is the colour scheme I’ve settled upon…

Simon, if I was being really picky, I’d say change the radio button backgrounds to black too :roll:

Do you mean the colour of the unchecked buttons? I’ve played around in gauges.htm trying to achieve this having googled the appropriate HTML but without success. Can you point me in the right direction, as I only know basic HTML & CSS.
