Mysqmplus wind app - Potential wind speed error report

[molino]

Hi Robert,

since you're about to release another windows app version, attached a screenshot with a potential error of wind speed report from the app.

App reports wind speed 0, CSII file apparentely reports the same (wind calm) and observing conditions report 1m/s wind speed. Early today I saw observing conditions reporting 6m/s but the windows app was still reporting wind speed 0, thus CS II file reporting wind calm.

Regards
Miguel

EDIT: Ok, I was messing up my settings on Mysqmplus app in regards to windy and very windy flags. Anyways, reading in the app is always 0, and looking at CS II file format, the report for ambient temperature is the sensor read sky ambient temperature (from MLX I think), instead of being from BME280 sensor. Was it planned to be like this?

Hi Miguel

Yes, depends how ambient source is configured on /admin3. can come from BME or MLX sensor. paul provided the graph tracking for this showing how closely they track together

So where ambient temp is required, tcpipserver case 30, get_ambient(),
case 30: // Get ambient temperature
SendPacket((float)get_ambient(), 3, clientnum);
break;

in mqtt,
if (ControllerData->get_logambient() == 1) {
double ambient = get_ambient();
jsonstr += "\"ambient\":" + String(ambient, 2) + ",";
}

web server
// if ambient temperature element enabled add
if (ControllerData->get_hpambient() ) {
if (tmpmode == DEFAULT_CELSIUS) {
tp = String(get_ambient(), 2);
} else {
tp = String(((get_ambient() * 1.8) + 32), 2);
}
IdxPg += "Ambient" + tp + "";
}

display etc.

So if you dont want a BME, you can use the MLX to get ambient temp.

Next, Windspeed
Yes it appears busted, but I really do need the windows logfile along with firmware version, and which wind speed sensor you are using. I would also like to see the ASCOM driver Trace file.

The wind speed calculations differ for each sensor type. I need to know this before looking at the issue in detail.

Please post the controller_config.h file.

Robert,
which windows log do you refer to?

[brownrb]

that would be the windows app log file. +firmware version, +type of windspeed
sensor
