This release brings the much-requested ability to display historical log files! A huge thanks to @LukePrior for their work bringing us this new feature.

1_5_3_historical

1_5_3_skewt

The new 'historical view', available from the top-right of the main auto_rx web interface provides the following functions:

  • Plot the flight paths of selected radiosonde flights.
  • Plot the landing locations of all received radiosonde flights.
  • Generate a Skew-T plot for a selected radiosonde flight (if temperature/humidity data is available). This uses the skewt-js library from dfelix.
  • Download selected logs as a Zip file.

You can find a guide to the new web interface on the auto_rx wiki here: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/Web-Interface-Guide

Skew-T plots are also available on the sondehub.org/card/ page used to display historical data from the SondeHub database. We hope to add Skew-T plots to the SondeHub tracker sometime in the near future.

Note: If you are using a 'native' install of auto_rx, you will need to install the 'semver' Python package by running: sudo pip3 install semver

Finally, we have now turned off the 'v1' SondeHub interface. radiosonde_auto_rx stations will no longer appear on tracker.habhub.org, nor will radiosonde telemetry be available via tracker.habhub.org. All radiosonde tracking is now located on https://tracker.sondehub.org/ and stations must be running at least v1.5.1 for their telemetry and station to appear on the map.

The pre-built Docker Image is now the recommended way to setup radiosonde_auto_rx on a new station. Using Docker avoids issues with updates to dependencies, like is occurring in this release.

IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTES:

If you are upgrading from an old release and are encountering issues with the web interface, please refer to the release notes for v1.5.1 for information on the Python package updates required: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/releases/tag/v1.5.1

Please report any problems encountered either on the mailing list, or by raising an issue on this repository.
