Can't get BigTemperature to work

Developers WeatherFlow PiConsole
1

Hi, I have been using wfpiconsole for a while now but know just about nothing about Python or Kivy. I have managed to get a battery voltage display that changes colours to reflect the mode associated with battery in the Solar window, but that was mainly a brute force and ignorance approach.

I went to get the BigTemperature display working, but have had no luck.

In the user folder I have renamed:
customPanels.kv.tmpl to customPanels.kv and
customPanels.py.tmpl to customPanels.py.

I then restarted the programme with no problem. I then went to settings to assign BigTemperature a panel, and sure enough it is listed so I assigned it to primary panel 6.

The program crashed with a number of error messages, the last one being:
"File “”, Line 1, in
NameError: name ‘BigTemperature Panel’ is not defined

If I try to restart the programme I get the error messages again. The only way I have been able to restart is to open wfpiconsole.ini and remove BigTemperature from:
[PrimaryPanels]
.
.
…
Panelsix = BigTemperature

Have I missed a step somewhere (quite likely)

I’ve just tested this my end, and unfortunately I can’t recreate the problem. I have renamed customPanels.kv.tmpl to customPanels.kv and customPanels.py.tmpl to customPanels.py, and added the BigTemperature panel to panel 6, and it works with no issues. Can you share the complete contents of the wfpiconsole.log file (or everything that is printed to the terminal) rather than just the last line?

Thanks Peter, here is the log from start to crash

Hi Peter, I have just installed the programme on a spare raspberry Pi 3+, and apart from being noticeably slower when making changes to the settings, it works as advertised, including BigTemperature, so I guess there is an issue with the install on the RPi4. I’ll reinstall it tomorrow and let you know.
