10/18/2023 Map Stopped Working?
Visit this post for the fix
Bit of a late start for a Christmas gift
I may have missed it in my search, but how is something like this configured? Brother's hanger is in Spicewood Texas airport code K88R (88R). no METAR reports. Closest is KRYW - Lago Vista that reports METAR. Is it a place holder LED if it is undefined?
Hi Rob,
The best way to handle this is to mount the LED under K88R but in the web admin, put KRYW as its airport and then set this airport to your Home airport. This will brighten the LED under K88R and provide weather from the nearest airport that is reporting. Otherwise all you will see is Grey (or what ever color you decide should represent it). I've done this before and it is seamless. - Mark
Thanks for the reply.
Looking at it for the airport editor it looks like it does not care for multiples of the same airport codes and I can set one of the LED pins to be the K88R location but still have a KRYW LED also.
I tried duplicating an airport on one of my maps without issue. So I believe you shouldn't have a problem with this. But if you have more info about what is happening, pass it along and I'll be happy to look it over. - Mark
I ended up leaving it as undefined and just changed both the undefined and home color to be the same. After a bit of thinking on it I though best just to leave as is. Having it the same as Lago Vista did work, but the METAR weather color blink was a bit off for my liking with the home aqua color. Now I just need to figure out my frame as wiring is mostly done. The area below Galveston is where I may put the buttons and rotary switch.
Documentation and browsing the forum has been very helpful.
Rob, your map turned out great! Post a picture when you get it framed and hung. Thanks - Mark
Visited my brother in Texas over the holidays and updated his map. For some reason the web service was not working to download the config and airport info, But the SSH was working fine. I had a old backup for the airports so I just did a fresh install and added back the airport config. Picture of when it was finished in frame and after being hung on the wall with added knob and button panel in the ADIZ
To those who maybe interested. I have uploaded the 3D print STL models for the map.
Fusion 360 files are included also.
Those are great! By chance do you have a picture of the finished map so we can see how it all looks together? Thanks for sharing them with us. - Mark
Very Nice! Great work. - Mark
