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 noticed two small bugs regarding dimming of all lights except for the home airport (if this feature is used). One is in the Configuration Editor, where the setting description shows the range as 0-255. In reality, this setting goes from 0-100, where 0 isn't dimmed at all, 30 would be dimmed 30% compared to the home airport, and 100 would be 100% dimmed (totally dark).
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[2] - ((value * data[2])/100)
It was multiplying by data[0] instead of data[2]. 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!
Awesome catches. I just fixed both of them. We'll be sure to get the two affected files up on this site so others can just drop them in the appropriate directories
Thanks again for the contribution. - Mark
It's my pleasure! You've done a great job with setting this all up. Thank you!
