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.

In version 4.501 a bug was found when the FAA doesn't provide a flight category in the returned data. The script will stop running when this happens. It can be fixed by editing the script named 'metar-v4.py'. It is located in the '/NeoSectional' directory. To get there use the command line and enter;
cd /NeoSectional sudo nano -c metar-v4.py
Then change line 1215 to;
if metar.find('flight_category').text is None or metar.find('flight_category').text == 'NONE':
Use the line that is there and add the '.text' to the 2 locations
Then enter;
ctrl-x y
to save.
This will be incorporated into the next image. - Mark
