Atari8guy Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 This is really cool, unfortunately the weather.exe linked to in the story isn't the latest version and has graphical bug in it. I know some folks have it on their servers by I'd like to place a version on my SD card.... Also, is this first "app" developed for the Fujinet in the appstore sense? As an aside: has wunderground's telnet service stopped? I haven't been able to retrieve a weather report since I got my Fujinet. Though you can connect to the server still.

bocianu Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 New version of my weather application has been released! Improvements: - now user settings and last location are stored, so it starts faster, - you can set and use custom API key, and then change auto-refresh interval - 2 new awesome visual themes by PG! - some bugfixes - It should work on all XL/XE computers, but not sure if it will work on 400/800. I don't have any of them to check it out, sorry ? - Now application starts from .atr image. Boot it from TNFS fujinet.pl /networking/weather.atr Make sure you have the latest version of the firmware installed on your #FujiNet device, otherwise saving options will not work. weather.atr 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stguild Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I used this for the 1st time today and it worked great. I rebooted and now I am getting a Connection Error: 138. Any ideas why? : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Olivas Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I love this Weather APP and it works very well. Way to FujiNet all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Has anyone been having issue getting the forecast with Weather.xex/atr today? Yesterday everything worked great for me, but today I can only get current conditions and when I go to forecast it hangs at "checking forecast" and sometimes it freezes and I have to reboot and other times I can get back to the current conditions. Everything else seems to be working right though. If you have looked at the weather on your fujinet today can you tell me if the forecaster is working for you or not? I want to figure out if it's an issue on my end or with the service maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's most likely due to the N: rewrite, the weather probably needs a fix. paging @bocianu. -THom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bocianu Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) @Gunstar, do you have latest firmware on your #FN? I'm not experiencing any issues... Does anyone else have a similar problem? EDIT: Just updated to latest one and still no issues. @tschak909: Does "N: rewrite" affect my app, if I'm doing direct SIO communication with #FN?

Yeah, because the firmware has changed, will test shortly. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) @bocianuI updated to the latest firmware as of yesterday, unless it's changed again since then. I only got my Fujinet a few days ago. It was working fine yesterday too. I'll check it out again though...I just tried again and it still hangs at the "checking forecast" screen, sometimes when it does it show a "c" down in the corner. And for the heck of it I changed cities, I tried London,UK, and it also gave me the current weather, but when I tried to load the forecast it hung again, but has a "ca" down in the corner sometimes, sometimes nothing. I can hit ESC and it will go back to current weather and all the other options work like changing the graphics and units and refresh. etc. If I let it sit on "checking forcast" for a while, the screen sometimes changes to light blue, showing my city, state and country at the bottom, and if I hit the space bar the "next", "back", and "quit" options show up, but "next" does noting and back will load the current forecast screen back up. sometimes this doesn't happen, but I can go back with ESC. And sometimes the entire program just freezes and I have to do a cold start. Edited January 23, 2021 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) I just figured out the problem. I had set my HSIO on Incognito and on Fujinet to divisor 0. I just changed my Incognito BIOS back to standard SIO speed and now weather.atr works fine. I hadn't thought about that until now. So I'll do some further testing as different divisors and see when it stops working right. Edited January 23, 2021 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Ok, the results are that Weather.atr works fine up to divisor 5: 73Kb, most of the time, after that it crashes or hangs if you try to get a forecast. Divisor 6: 69Kb seems to work every time. Edited January 23, 2021 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this basically means that weather needs some slight refinement as to making sure all data is gathered. -Thom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 @bocianu are you testing with SIO divisor 0 (and HSIO devices set to ALL) ? -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 is there a way for a program or batch file to change fujinet divisor on the fly? might make for a slick way to load stuff that is not hs or ultra capable load without issue... ie the batch or launch file could set the fujinet and the dos to the required divisor without config prog screen setting rebootting etc etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Another good idea by @_The Doctor__! I've reduced from Divisor 0 to 6 because I'm now using the Weather.atr on a daily basis and even multiple times a day, but so far, which isn't much I grant you, Divisor 0 on Fujinet has worked fine otherwise and it would be great if the program was adjusted to work at divisor 0, but I would like to use 0 and then change it to whatever is needed on the fly because I'm sure this won't be the last program loaded over Fujinet that behaves this way, and probably isn't the first, except to me.

Divisor 6: 69Kb seems to work every time. Gotta be an ISP/LAN or other network congestion issue - I just booted up the weather.atr file at Divisor 0 from the server in Poland without issue. There was a bit of stuttering once but it worked fine, as it has the half-dozen other times I've played around with it over the last couple months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) What is the custom weather API key, and how do you set it? I don't mean hitting the C key so you get the cursor, but what input does it require. Edited January 24, 2021 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocianu Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Go there: https://openweathermap.org/appid signup, and you will get free API key by email. Just retype it into weather app. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
