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
I have 3 airports that show up as undefined KO32, KCPU and KJAQ. I know those are valid codes so did something change in the way it gets the weather?
When you say unidentified, is it the weather on the airport page, or is the LED showing white? There are 2 different weather products being used, the one for the airport editor page is different than the one for the LED's and can show unidentified. If its the LED coming up as white, then that's usually a temporary issue as the METAR is temporarily not being reported.
I have 2 airports on my board where the airports editor shows unidentified also. I'm not sure why the FAA weather product doesn't return the data, but if you click on the link in the description it will take you to a page that does show the weather. This was done as a backup. - Mark
@markyharris The editor says the ID is undefined and it shows up as weather not reporting in my case is yellow.
Yep. I'm not sure why the FAA isn't returning the data. It's using an api from weather.gov. Run this in a web browser;
https://api.weather.gov/stations/K032/observations/latest
Now substitute another airport for the K032 and try it again. You'll see the data returned is now complete. - Mark
@markyharris I got this back for KJAQ

"correlationId": "66845a89",

}
Yep, try an airport from your airports editor that is showing a flight category. You will receive a bunch of data about it. - Mark
I was more concerned about it not recognizing the airport code verses getting the weather.
