Peter, this is my first update where I put my mods in the user folder. It worked perfectly and required no additional code modification after. This is great! In the past, my mods took a little while to reincorporate after every update and I would delay updates for days or weeks. Your new custom mods option is the best.

Thank you!
Steve

Once again perfect work @Peter :grinning:.

Ok running into trouble after updating.
I get the following on trying to start.
I even went so far as to run the installation script from scratch. Same result. I’m lost.

1304

Have you made any changes to the contents of the ~/wfpiconsole/user directory?

1305

Peter,

I followed your instructions, however after 8 hours I still got the same picture.

Building wheel for Kivy (pyproject.toml) … \

1306

Not quite. If you haven’t edited anything it is every 5 minutes if the API call fails. If the API call is successful then it is the number of seconds until the top of the next hour (i.e. 3600 except when the console is first started when it will be less). If you want every 5 minutes even if the API requests is successful, replace

secondsSched = math.ceil((downloadTime-funcCalled).total_seconds())

on line 204 with

secondsSched = 300 + math.ceil((funcCalled-Now).total_seconds()) .

Is this still there? Can’t find it in forecast.py. Want to change this again.

@peter

Yeah I had the same issue - after today’s update (22.3.2). Arrow cursor on the screen and no touch response.

I do have a mini keyboard/trackpad dongle plugged in but the device is turned off.

If I turn on the KB/TP device it works - press the Menu buttons - however ‘Touchscreen’ still non-functional.

I just noticed that even on a VNC connection I can no longer use mouse and keyboard.
I use to be able to adjust ‘Settings’ using a mouse and KB is that no longer allowed?

EDIT: I noticed if I set cursor = 1 , VNC mouse/kb does work but touch is disabled.

1308

Followed this guide:

That is what I used.

Hi!
So during the wfpiconsole update I get this error. I’ve spoken nicely and I have sworn at it🤪
One search suggested “pip install websocket-client “ in the terminal and that caused no errors, also didn’t fix the wfpiconsole update error.

I renamed the ini file and in recreating it, I used the info in the old ini file, as I didn’t remember where I got it from.

Lots of restarts. Always the same result.

Do you have any suggestions? I’m flying blind. Many thanx……. Jt

No, this is a mistake from me. There’s an issue on the Pi4 when touch and mouse interfere with each other that causes the console to crash, but I think I’ve been over zealous in fixing it. I’ll have another look at bring touch and mouse back.

Yes, it’s still there but it is on line 142.

Ok, this is interesting. The issue is that the console is trying to install version 10.1 of the Websockets module, but that version is not available for your hardware/software combination. The maximum available version is 9.1. What hardware/software are you using, as I’m very surprised that 10.1 is not available. Unfortunately the install script is always going to fail

1312

Sorry I’m so ignorant. Does this tell you anything? If not, where should I look? Thx

No, that’s useful. Can you also run this command in a terminal and let me know the output:

python3 --version

1314

When I ran python3 — version , the responce was Python 3.6.9

1315

No I have not made any changes in the usr directory
I previously had bigtemp installed then ran the update and pulled out the profile in the ini.

1316

I saw there was an update available this morning and I installed it on two of my consoles without errors during installation. When I press the Menu button both of the units restart WFPiConsole.

Here is the log:

1317

What do I need to do to clear out the current installation files so that I can try a reinstall? Hoping I don’t have to wipe the card and reinstall the os

1318

Run this command on the terminal:

rm -rf ~/wfpiconsole

And then run the full install again. Also, generate a new .ini file

Can you help me with this Peter? I want to check every 60 secondens if there are changes in the weather forcast:

    # Schedule new forecast to be downloaded in 5 minutes. Note secondsSched
    # refers to number of seconds since the function was last called.
    Tz  = pytz.timezone(self.app.config['Station']['Timezone'])
    Now = datetime.now(pytz.utc).astimezone(Tz)
    sched_time = Now + timedelta(minutes=5)
    secondsSched = (sched_time - Now).total_seconds()
    self.app.Sched.metDownload.cancel()
    self.app.Sched.metDownload = Clock.schedule_once(self.fetch_forecast, secondsSched)
1320

Change line 144 in forecast.py to read

self​.​app​.​Sched​.​metDownload​ ​=​ ​Clock​.​schedule_once​(​self​.​fetch_forecast​, ​60)
