If you have any hints of where I could start, please let me know… I don’t fancy rebuilding it from scratch… :(
Well, 2.0 amps minimum on the power supply although I think 2.5 is optimum.
Hints? Well, suggestion.
Disable all but the default modules and run that for a day and see what happens. If all is well then introduce one at a time and test again. See how that goes for starters

@mkyle1 - Great job on the module, it looks superb. I’ll be adding it to my mirror very soon.
I understand you’re working on this on your own time, just a couple of config options for you if you’re in the mood to do anything more with the module ;-)
- Most of Eur runs on KM for the viz. I wouldn’t have a clue what a Statue Mile looks like out of the window!
- Typically winds reported at xxx degrees at yy kts and shorthand would be 260/05 rather than @.
I would be happy enough to change this on my mirror but a config option would be (far) too advanced for me to try and implement!
@stephenmelody - Ref the crashing:
First thing I’d do is check the power supply, RPi are really picky!
Check out the command ‘dmesg’ - very insightful for tracking down issues as it is timestamped. This will clear on reboot so it’d need to be checked before the crash.If this is fruitless,
- /var/log/messages
- /var/log/syslog
- /var/log/kern.log
Cheers lads,
Johnny

Thanks, I appreciate that. I did it as a request from a user so forgive my lack of aviation understanding.

That’s easy enough to fix. I’ll take care of that. Maybe even as soon as tonight.
As far as the Statute Mile/KM situation is concerned. The API only provides Statute Mile (SM) in the data. I didn’t do any conversions because I was going to move to another API that provided both, making it easier to give you a config option and a whole lot less coding for me. However, I will look at it again and see what it involves. Worst case scenario you’d have to wait for my moving to the other API but I can’t tell you when that would be. :-)

Just in case others want the @ symbol as a separator between wind speed and direction I made it a config option.
sym: "@", // or sym: "/",Result:
So, for those interested, you can do a
git pullin the MMM-PilotWX directory to update or download and install as usual.

Can it do this? ¿

@Mykle1 IN PURPLE? BUT just on Fridays and Wednesdays…the other days I want it blue. Well unless the wind is blowing from the west then I need it hot pink or orange…no wait orange is for the days it’s blowing from the east at 2.2mph…
Can you do that? Thanks! LOL

I can, but I didn’t. ;-)
However, I did make a config option for Kilometers if you would rather that than Statute Miles for Visibility. :-)

I don’t know what the standard for this type of display is but it seems to me that 260/6kt is easily readable, whereas 3KM for visibility is not. Would not 3/km be better? Or is that not what you pilots are used to? Please clarify. Thanks. :-)

@Mykle1 Why Thanks!
