can I change the minimums for VFR and MVFR, mine are not so low so is there a way to have it change so the map shows green only 

when my requirements are met?

Thanks

First off, what a great project.  I'm very impressed with the amount of thought you've put into this package.  I was playing with some of the others out there and longing for a number of features, then I found Livesectional.  You have already thought of and coded everything, along with a support forum!

I'm working on a personal project that will have between 400 and 500 pixels and everything is working great so far.  I have two questions/tweaks that I'd like to play with.

1) Is it possible to change the delay between sequences of blinks.  It appears to wait for 2 seconds.  I'd like to play with extending this timer.  I didn't see it in the script that holds the variables and I can certainly dig for it in the code, just curious if you can give a pointer to it or possibly work that into a variable in a future release?

2) For the legend, I'd like to play with what it would look like without a 'base color'.  I'm not in front of it currently, but for example, instead of having it Red and then flashing for rain or lightning, just leave it off and just blink the indicated colors for the rain.

Thoughts on these?

Thanks again!

After this series of errors, the system appears to boot up normally. I am able to go to the web interface just fine (indicating that there's no network issues). Performing any changes to the lights doesn't actually take effect on the lights themselves, possibly because I might have them wired wrong. I am unsure if this error is because my wiring could be off. 

Thanks in advance!

The other small error is in metar-v31.py.  Under the section on dimming (def dim(data,value)), the line that dims the blue value needs a slight change to this:

blu = data - ((value * data)/100)

It was multiplying by data instead of data.  Only showed up when certain colors were being displayed, and then the dimming wouldn't work correctly.

Such a cool program, and documented nicely enough that amateurs can figure it out.

Thanks!

1) RPi connects to the web ok and all local and remote commands seem to work fine including remote ssh via Putty. 

2) The WS2811 goes through a rainbow startup as set in the Config page. 

3) I can walk through the led's turning on and off up to #25. After that the Config ignores higher values and reverts to 25 leds.

4) I set the number of airports to 25 or set to something like 3 for testing I get the same results.

5) In all cases after the Rainbow startup the first 25 LEDs light. 

6) The RPi shows on the local screen that it cycles through a the airports 5 times and then repeats quickly again and again until I Shutdown via web Config. I expect it is polling the FAA database via the web continuously. I have never let this continue more than a couple minutes.

Has anyone seem this?

Do you have suggestions as to how to proceed?

This is a really cool project and I want to thank you for generating the code and docs.

I haven't done any electronics work for a few years and this has been a rewarding effort. I've even broke out my soldering and test gear from 35 years ago. I grew up with DOS so perhaps Linux will come easy(ish).

Thank you.

After setting up your wifi network on the PI the instructions say to enter "hostname -I" (this is a capital i)

I didn't get that to work on mine, I found that "sudo ifconfig" did work to get me the IP address.
