Subject: [aprssig] FindULog converter

Hi,

Maybe Steve can help me, maybe it is the data base corrupted for the 
UI-View32 add-on, FindULog converter program, but the date and time 
format that is inserted into each packet string now is not working the 
way it did the last time I used the program.

Here is the old appearence, for a couple of lines in the beginning of a 
dump from  Findu, and after being converted for UI-View:

2006-06-07 12:27:59 START LOCAL TIME
2006-06-07 12:27:59 12:27:59R KE9LN-1>TR0V7W,K9SA*,WIDE2-2,qAR,N9OIG

Port=1 <UI C Len=41>:
`tY-lg}>/]"6L}Listening 146.985 & 443.250

And now this is what it looks like, on several different callsigns I 
tried today..

2006--0-9- 01: 1:6: START LOCAL TIME
2006--0-9- 01: 1:6  01: 1:6 R 2006-09-01 16 Port=1 <UI C Len=59>:

31:57,WA9INF-8>APT311,WA9INF*,WIDE2-1,qAo,WB9WLS:>TinyTrak3

Any ideas as to what may have happened,  Steve?  Or maybe Andy, M0CYP 
has some work cut out for himself again, :-)

Thanks for any help,

Robbie

I got one of the water gauges, so expect more than the previously mentioned
graph of water levels:

http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/water.cgi?call=k4hg-4&last=48

For example, using Xtide I already can compare my reports to the predicted
tide:

http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/water-list.cgi? 
call=k4hg-4&tide=705&floodoffset=5.5

as I write this, the peak error is .15 feet, less than two inches, at any
point in the last day. Not too shabby, the hardware passes this test with
flying colors...

The findU user interface needs to be cleaned up, right now there is no web
page to convert the text tide  station name into the number the cgi uses,
but there will be before too long, along with other fun tide abilities.

Look for the obvious next step, showing the predicted tide and deviation on
the same graph as the actual level, before too long! If you have any ideas,
now is the time to share them...

If you have access to water, you should get one of these things, they work,
and they are cool...

It is a side effect of being on the secondary server. This one runs MySQL
version 4, which changed the default way dates are handled. I thought I had
fixed all the calls (the answer is to change the select time SQL statement
to select time+0), but I  obviously missed one. What URL does this add-on
use?

Of course, as soon as I sent this there was a large excursion. However,
during the time there was a passing thunderstorm which produced a strong
wind (about 25 MPH) from the northwest, from the bay I live on to open
water. The water level was lowered by almost half a foot by this wind! How
cool to see this happen!

All is well now!  Many thanks Steve and Andy.. I really get a lot of use 
out of the program Andy, and Steve thanks for you efforts in all of this..

They go for $399, but that includes everything, the transmitter, antenna, 2
year battery, mounting hardware, silicone sealant. You just supply whatever
length of 2" PVC you need to cover the tidal range.

Coming soon to findU, Xtide tide charts:
