I got sick of the flaky (at best) Twitter to Facebook integration and so decided to update Facebook independently by RSS. I thought it might potentially be of use to somebody else so I thought I'd put it here. It is relatively easy to create a RSS feed for the current conditions using the Webtags fa...

It seems good;

I have now taped a bit of cut up binliner over it to stop the reflections. Hopefully though that will stay put, unlike the webcam when it was stuck there!

cheers

I have tried the TomTom mount solution and I have to say that it is brilliant and a most excellent idea. Thank you. It was £2.29 inc P&P from Ebay. My polarising filter fits in it like a glove. I drilled two small holes in the ring, and two corresponding holes through my USB webcam, and fixed it...

I'm using it. I just implemented it as an alternative forecast, at http://www.wetherbyweather.org.uk/forecast.htm . (Currently loading very slowly due to hosting problems at a third party.) I can't use it as my "main" forecast as it won't do things like appear in my Cumulus Tweet or interf...

I know this has been discussed on here before, and that many people have big reservations about Facebook and how useful it is putting weather information on there. However I have a Facebook account for my weather station and it's proving surprisingly popular. I need some reliable way of automaticall...

So I think that if you had waited the blank chart would have eventually filled out!! No; there's definitely a "cut off" point whereby it just stops working, I left the page open for some time (an hour?) It doesn't seem to be the number of points on one graph either; I had only set it to p...

Thanks very much - I'll give that one a try.

Plus you're a bit of a legend on here from all I've been reading - thanks to all the stuff you've been doing, much of which has appeared in my weather website!

Hi My Yawcam sends images to my website at http://www.wetherbyweather.org.uk/webcam.htm. It does so every 9.5 mins (closer to 10 when actually done.) webcam00000.jpg is always the most recent one, but it keeps up to webcam00150.jpg. When a new image is uploaded, it replaces webcam00000.jpg which bec...

Yes apologies, I had a brain fart, I should have said, how big the realtime.log file gets before highcharts falls over.

kingqueen

speaking of which, random question: does anybody know - or know how I can find out - how long realtime.log can be before Cumulus falls over? I suppose the alternative is to have two realtime.log files - hmmm yes that would do it wouldn't it - one for the jpgraphs and one shorter one for the highchar...

This is just in case it's off use to anybody, I increased the number of measurements saved in realtime.log for the 96 hour Tnet graph. At 1 per minute, that made the log file very very long. Turns out highcharts doesn't cope once the file gets above a certain size, it shows a graph with axes but no ...

A lovely view. Regarding focussing the webcam. G0hdi your webcam looks similar to mine, with a focussing ring that is all too easy to move? What I did is I connected it to my computer and focussed it clearly as possible on infinity / the horizon. I them used a marker to put a mark on both the focuss...

Brian, Wow that's great! It looks fantastic! Thank you. I can see myself ending up with one of those :-) When feeding USB cables through walls, holes etc. I don't unsolder them from the camera, I generally cut them in two then resolder each of the four wires (+ shield wire if there is one). It's eas...

kingqueen

Thank you both for the ideas! - both good ones.

I'll go for the easier first, the tomtom mount - will get one off Ebay - and if that doesn't work, I'll go for the outdoors sealed container option.

Thanks

I don't know! The tin had contained my camping first aid kit for 10 years, and I think I acquired it from somebody else before then. Given the amount of sanding I did so I could paint it you'd think I'd have noticed, wouldn't you. Tin was originally red
