Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark

The current high winds option is great but it would be great to have an additional option.

So what I would like to try an achieve is  Windy - as per current config with the led blinking off/black including being able to set a wind speed. then an additional config for High Winds value to be set by the user, where the LED could blink a colour of your choosing to highlight airfields with high winds. 

If this is already achievable any help would be great in implementing it.

I'm not really sure what you are hoping for. However, if you set the wind speed to blink on under 'Basic Settings' then set Blink LED's for High Winds' to 'Yes' under 'Sectional Map Settings' then if you want you can change the color under 'Black/Off' under 'LED Colors Settings' to what ever you would like.

Hope this helps. - Mark

Perhaps I was not very clear. I was more looking for an additional option,

Eg when the wind reaches a certain value for example 15knots the airfield LED’s should blink black/off which is current functionality.

When the wind speed reaches a second value set by the user eg. 35 knots the airfield LED would then blink a user definable colour. 

My reasoning behind this is I work at a training school and I would like to build in the functionality to determine whether its just windy or if the wind is outside company limits.

Ah, now I understand. That's a good idea. I don't see that feature being available till version 5. But I'll put it on the list of suggestions. In the meantime, you can connect OLED's and display the winds along with Gust's. - Mark
